Difaqane and UoB are duplinked.
"impose English-language literature" Body says introduce British literature, neither impose and introduce nor English-langauge and British are equivalents.
"most common instances" to "most common forms"?
"Political separation of the Setswana-speaking populations in" to "The political separation of the Setswana-speaking populations into"?
I'd link quagga.
Tswana words like maboko, leina, bogwera, and kgosi should be in lang templates.
Link or gloss Motswana.
"but it fled" How does a press flee?
Pula (the journal) should be italicized.
Tswana newspaper names should also be in lang templates.
"South Africa one of his" needs a comma.
Will check sources later. AryKun (talk) 20:27, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've made all of the suggested changes. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:39, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
