Rosberg's father, 1982 Formula 1 World Champion Keke Rosberg’s home language is Finnish, but he decided Nico should not learn this language as he considered German, French, English, Italian and Spanish to be more important or useful languages. Put differently, Keke considered Finnish to be less important or not useful in Nico's life.
Having lived in the US for 29 years, all her adult experiences were made in that country and around the American culture, which includes being blunt. Is it reasonable to expect her to carry herself like a 47-year-old Benoni woman? She has far more life experience as an English speaker than an Afrikaans one. English has long overtaken Afrikaans as a useful language in her life, and dare I say it, English is now her first language.
Theron also said that Afrikaans is a dying language. I cannot find any angle to explain this comment away. Afrikaans is a growing language with speakers outside the SADC region. I have personally heard it spoken at international airports such as London Heathrow in England, Munich in Germany, and at JFK in New York City. I have even spoken to a US-based Afrikaans home language-speaking couple in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, US in 2013.
