In addition to the 11 official languages of South Africa, PanSALB also strives for the development of the Khoe, San, and South African Sign Language.[7]

PanSALB structures include: Provincial Language Committees, the National Language Bodies and the National Lexicography Units.

Controversy

In January 2016, South African Minister of Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa dissolved the entire board of PanSALB, after a report that between 2014 and 2015, the board's administrative expenditure had increased from 8 million to 11 million ZAR, while the expenditure on its mandate dropped to 17 million from 23 million ZAR, while its irregular expenditure was 28 million.[8]
