It was my pleasure to host Dr Olebeng Mahura in Bathurst this weekend. I first met Olebeng at the ICPLA conference in 2016 in Halifax, Canada. We have kept in touch - and Olebeng co-authored four chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World that I edited.
- Setswana speech development
- Xhosa/isiXhosa speech development
- Zulu/isiZulu speech development
- English (South African) speech development.
It was great to show her around Charles Sturt University and Bathurst.
