Abstract	The Government of South Africa, through Act 200 of 1993 Post-apartheid Constitution, established the Language-in-Education Policy, (LIEP), which has various provisions concerning the eleven languages recognized as official indigenous languages in the country and how these languages should be used in South African schools. This policy stipulates that these indigenous languages must be used both as a medium of instruction and as a subject. A gap between the intent of this policy and its implementation has already been established by many scholars in South Africa. This study is therefore aimed at critically answering the following questions which necessitated the study: In the face of the gap between LIEP intent and implementation, what needs to be done? Are there strategies to be employed for the implementation and actualization of this Education Policy? Using analytical method, this study reviewed related literatures, which have established media roles in the implementation of policies with the aim of prescribing the strategies which can help the media in South Africa in performing this function. The study concluded that with the strategies outlined in this policy for the revitalization of indigenous languages, the media in South Africa need to set the right agenda, which may snowball into the actualization of implementing the language-in-education policy in all schools in the country. It is recommended, among others, that Government and Non-Governmental Organizations in South Africa partner with the media in closing the gap between the intent and implementation of LIEP using the strategies proposed in this study.
