Anti-Kalanga liars

To paraphrase some observer, there are three kinds of liars - liars, damn liars and professors. Tribalism apologists, masquerading as academic linguists, continue to subject us to antiquated lies about Kalangas being a "tribe". They continue with their scaremongering tactics which are designed to convince the semi-literate majority that Ikalanga language needs "development", meaning expenditure by Government of the latter's hard-earned tax payments.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The very alphabet that the liars are using to write is a Kalanga alphabet. It is not a "Greek" alphabet as other liars have opined before. Unfortunately the decorated liars only write about Kalanga language when they don't know a thing about Kalanga language. I consider myself better qualified to write about how Setswana language is a threat to my language, Kalanga, because I also speak Setswana language.

They also feed us with the big lie about Kalanga "ethnicity", or Kalanga "tribal identity", which is supposed to be on a par with Ngwato, Ngwaketse or Kwena tribal identities. The liars don't bother to tell us why there are Kalanga speaking people in Shoshong, Serowe, Kanye and Molepolole. If Kalangas are a tribe, just as the Bakwena of Molepolole are, then what are the Kalanga-speaking (Kwena) people of Marobela, (Kwena) people of Kalakamati, to name but a few?  Are all the Kalanga-speaking Kwena people not part of the Kwena tribe just because they speak Kalanga ? Are the "Bokalaka ward" people of Kanye not Bangwaketse ? Are the "Bokalaka ward" people of Molepolole not Bakwena ?

Those who have read Adolph Hitler's Mien Kampf often quote a passage where Hitler wrote that if you tell people a big lie and repeat it often enough, they end up accepting it as a God-given truth. That is what has been happening since 1966. A big, big lie on the demographics of this region has been churned out by all sorts of liars in a desperate attempt to retain their tribal superiority over other tribes in this vast Kalanga nation, of which they themselves, are an integral part.

Kalanga language does not need "development" by Government. All it needs is for government to remove its prohibition which was introduced specifically to target Ikalanga language and kill it, thereby rendering our people strangers in their own land! Kalanga language was here, written in its alphabet, long before that alphabet was stolen and used for Setswana language after its (Tswana's) introduction by the Anunnaki god Ra! Will the professors please stop feeding us lies, and perhaps even go and learn some Kalanga which their ancestors used to speak.

Boko, Saleshando and Joina should resign their party presidencies.

I start off with a self-evident truth - In an election to choose a government, any party that is presented with a noticeable opportunity to cheat WILL cheat! If you do not agree with this assertion, Dear Reader, please read no further.

Now that we are on the same wavelength, so to speak, let me refer you to Sameosi Mokgethiwa's collumn "Opposite Poles" in the WeekEndPost newspaper of 01 - 07 November 2014. In it he writes:

"...once upon a time there was a party called the BNF which, finding itself at wits end on how to overcome the perennial election loss, successfully argued and convinced authorities that its election disk be perforated in the centre..."

And so in deciding how elections are to be conducted, someone plays the role of an authority. Two questions arise:

1. Where does this someone derive his/her authority from?

2. Assuming that this "authority" had the power to reject BNF's proposal, what prevented  this "authority" from using that power to rig the election in favour of one or another party?

The answer to the first question, in my view is - the electorate; while the answer to the second is - nothing! But let's look again at the first answer.

In matters pertaining to the conduct of an election, the electorate is split right in the middle, and rightly so. An election should be considered a discontinuity. All aspirants to political office, including those "in government" should have exactly THE SAME POWER over the conduct of an election, otherwise whoever has greater power WILL cheat. He/She need not necessarily cheat only in his own favour, but cheat he certainly will - Murphy's Law.

And now to the second answer - nothing. Elections are not a guarantor of democracy. Free, fair and credible elections are. To achieve free, fair and credible elections, the electorate must RENDER IT IMPOSSIBLE for participating parties to cheat. It is very much in the interest of the electorate that the election be free, fair and credible; that is the meaning of democracy; that is the meaning of PEACE.

To my recollection, no outside authority has so far declared our recent elections to have been fair and credible. Maybe the African Union Election Observer Mission (AUEOM) will yet do so. Their preliminary report said our elections were "free and transparent". You can spin what you want from that statement. In my view all they are saying is that no one was coerced to vote for anyone, and that observers could see what was taking place. It says nothing about what was taking place being "beyond reproach" as some people would have us believe.

Crucially, the mission observed that the practice of transporting ballot boxes BEFORE COUNTING the ballots, presented logistical problems. This blogger goes further - the practice presents not only logistical problems, but an excellent opportunity for rigging elections because such boxes can be switched in transit! It is precisely to prevent such things from being possible that this blogger threatenned NOT to vote unless counting of ballots was done on site.

The threat was not picked up either by Duma Boko or Dumelang Saleshando or Themba Joina. Instead we continue to be fed with the usual "opium of the masses" - opposition cooperation!  It is for this reason that I call upon Duma Boko, Dumelang Saleshando and Themba Joina to resign their party leaderships, and hand over to people who can provide the necessary leadership to PLUG all election rigging holes. For the three leaders to have failed to notice the flaws that were noticed by this blogger long before the elections, and by the AUEOM in just a month of election observation, is utterly inexcusable!

Khama has nothing to resign for, because he achieved his goal - to win Government, albeit with a reduced majority. Only those leaders to whom the electorate gave their votes on the understanding that those votes would NOT be subject to rigging, and that those leaders would win Government, but did not in fact win Government, need to resign. They need to resign because a glaring opportunity for rigging was allowed to go unchecked all the way to the election. Whether anybody did notice, and therefore take advantage of that opportunity this time around, is immaterial. He/She could have.

It feels like an injury to the nation's intelligence to speak of us having world-class intellectual resources, and yet to claim that we cannot correctly count the contents of 57 parliamentary-constituency ballot boxes in situ. To add insult to this injury, we are now being told that the Independent Electoral Commision (IEC) is looking at the possibilty of introducing electronic voting for the 2019 elections.

 "If we cannot correctly count contents of 57 constituency ballot boxes, how do we conduct electronic voting?" one may ask.

SADC intergration need not be "negotiated".

Many commenters on the subject of Southern African Development Community (SADC) intergration  suggest that SADC pursue its intergration the same way that the European Community (EC) was intergrated - through long drawn out negotiations. I disagree.

Most of the European nations are "natural" entities. They evolved from distinct tribal formations with distinct economic functionalities. It was to be expected that intergration on their part would require serious economic and cultural interventions.

Most if not all, of the "countries" that comprise SADC are colonial contraptions that seldom found acceptance among the "natural" SADC national entities. Many "borders" of those countries cut right accross "natural" nations in the SADC. Indeed the economic needs of the colonial powers often compelled them to overlook the artificial "boundaries" that they themselves had imposed. A "native" mine labourer from Mozambique was never compelled to relocate from the Witwatersrand back to Mozambique. Consequently the struggle by African labour, against exploitation by capital, initially did not follow colonial boundaries; it was only so directed when the colonialists started "granting" independence to some of the artificial SADC "countries". The African National Congress (ANC) was formed by political activists from many, if not all, SADC countries!

In my view, SADC "intergration" can best be achieved by a new SADC-wide political movement, with a united SADC-wide leadership. To survive censure and persecution by SADC countries, the movement will have to be pragmatic and acknowledge the presence, if not the legality of the colonial boundaries. It will have to take part in the elections in each SADC country, while openly campaigning for an unconditional union of all the coutries where it wins elections.
Let the best (wo)man win!

Ebola: Let's thank and applaud Morocco and Angola.

There is hope for Africa, it would seem, Thanks God there are still sensible countries such as Morocco and Angola who have refused to host CAF football tournament 2015 in the face of the Ebola outbreak.

We love you Morocco; we love you Angola!

If voting blues still persist you can search the Government discussion forums for the topic "Registering to vote" as indicated in the heading of this post.

Voting nightmares!

If you feel depressed about allegations of tampering with the voters roll for the impending elections, try re-reading this for comfort:

http://myikalanga.blogspot.com/2013/03/why-voter-registration.html

Why should voters roll be kept secret ?

The WeekendPost newspaper of 27 September 2014 carries a report headlined "IEC on high alert over rigging claims". The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) spokesperson, Mr. Osupile Maroba is reported to have "assured to [sic] the public at large that no one besides IEC has access to voters roll and that ...".

I am not a lawyer, therefore for all I know there may be some law, or even the constitution itself, which empowers the IEC to hide the voters roll from the voters themselves. But would such a law, if indeed it exists, make sense ?

When I registered to vote, all the information that I was asked to supply is on my National Identity document (Omang) that the law requires me to have on my person EVERYWHERE I AM IN THE COUNTRY. To this information the recording clerk added my postal address and the name of the Polling station where I was registering.

All the above information about me is public information, the release of which does not endanger public security in any way whatsoever. The information is ALL that my individual record on the voters roll should contain, and the voters roll is just a collection of many similar individual records. Why then should the voters roll be kept a secret ?

In my view transparency in the voting process would be best served by the IEC publishing the voters roll online and (transparently) editing it until the cut-off date just before the elections. If by so doing, the IEC would be contravening any law, then I challenge all political formations to tell us, the voters, what changes they will make to such a law in the event that they win the 2014 general elections.

Our Nijel Amos

Nijel Amos is a highly talented young man. If ever there was a Botswanan about whom one could write that the sky is the limit, Nijel Amos is that guy. His performance at the last Olympics 800 meters race when he came second to David Rudisha was sterling.

I would have hoped therefore that all his subsequent performances, including the one where he beat Rudisha would be meticulously srutinised to determine whether or not his performance is improving AGAINST THE CLOCK. Unfortunately, all newspapers just sing his praises, as if his target was to beat Rudisha, regardless of whether Rudisha was limping or whatever. We are not even told whether by beating Rudisha, Nijel had actually bettered his own Olympic performance! Granted, Nijel is a very delicate young man. However, he is a sportsman, and the best we have at middle distance. We must not encourage him to aim at beating so-and-so, at the expense of beating the clock!

The quality of sports reporting really needs to improve in this country.  

Youth beware! Burnt election card is ceded vote!

Today's Echo newspaper carries a story of one Poloko Pitwane who, for whatever reason, was rejected by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) when he attempted to register as an Independent candidate for the forthcoming 2014 General Elections. Mr. Pitwane is a politicized young man, therefore there can be no doubt that his voice is representative of a good section of the youth. The newspaper alleges that Mr. Pitwane has indicated that his supporters may burn their voter registration cards in protest at his barring by the IEC.

While I strongly sympathize with Mr. Pitwane, I am aware, as many people are, that "burning a voter registration card" is not equivalent to "burning a vote".  A voter registration card can be reprinted, and can be used by an impostor to vote! What this means is that burning a voter registration card is actually equivalent to GIVING A FREE VOTE TO WHOEVER PRINTS THE VOTER REGISTRATION CARDS. Once the registrations have been done, duplicates for any lost or "burnt" cards can be produced in a matter of minutes!

The voter will be shocked to learn, after the vote has passed, that he/she actually voted, despite having "burnt" his/her card! So, don't burn or surrender your voter registration cards; instead mark all candidates on the ballot, and thus SPOIL your vote. That way, your vote will actually be recorded and counted as a protest vote.

Ebola and football

A few days ago I was sitting in a bus, and so I had occassion to listen to Radio Botswana. The topic of discussion was whether or not Botswana should, in the near future, host some football team as part of the confederation of African football (CAF) fixtures. The visiting team is from a country that neighbours the Ebola stricken countries. I was shocked, to say the least.

My shock arose out of the realisation that CAF may not have issued advisories suspending CAF games until the ebola epidemic has been eliminated from the continent. If indeed CAF has not done that yet, then the world should pressure CAF to do so straight away. Even if Botswana was already in the proven infection area, no games between it and the visiting country's team should have been scheduled to go ahead. In my view CAF should have issued a lockdown on all CAF games. After all schools are being shut to avoid the spread of ebola.

The seriousness of ebola is evident in its name. I believe the name is derived from the Kalanga "i-bulaya", meaning "the killer". So, if the disease was identified by the Anunnaki or their immediate descendants what measures can possibly be considered too stringent to try and contain the current outbreak? I certainly would not count cancellation of all CAF games among such measures.

Our country in the clutches of the Lizards!

We, Kalangas call the speakers of Coptic/Suthu/Tswana languages Ba-Rwa, a mis-spelling of Ba-Ra (Ra's people). The dimunitive (to show contempt) is "Badzwana". As late as 1966, the British were content to name our country after Ra's people - Botswana (land of Badzwana).

We vehemently resisted the British "ceding" of our country to Ra's people, without success. But this does not change the fact that Ra's people (Batswana) are representative of a tribe, and not a "Nation" in our country. So is their language, Se-Tswana.

Only the Kalanga language is truly representative of the "Nation" that is erroneously called "Botswana" today. This is because all the tribes of this nation, including Badzwana, have been shown, by this very blogger, to have been at one time or another, Kalanga speakers.
As a Kalanga speaker I make no apologies for demanding that Kalanga language assumes at the very least,  the same status accorded to Se-Tswana language today. It was wrong to allow a tribal language, Se-tswana to claim national language status in the first place.

I call upon all other Kalangas who speak the different tribal languages in our nation - Shiyeyi, Shimbukushu, iSindebele, IsiZulu, SeNaro, ShiKalahari, TjeKuhane (Subiya), Tjililima, all the Tjikhwa languages and dialects, SeTswana etc. to UNITE around our truly national language, Kalanga and adopt it as our uniting language, just as it used to be when the gods walked the Earth.

What happened to Southern African slaves ?

Portugal had colonies in Southern Africa - Mozambique; Angola. Many slaves were collected from present day Botswana, Zimbabwe, and possibly even from South Africa.

Ancient Mwene Matapa engaged the Portuguese in wars and slave trade. Yet during this World Cup in Brazil every report linking Brazil with Africa seems to suggest that ONLY West African slaves ended up in Brazil. How could this be ? I find it hard to believe that Southern African slaves did not end up in Brazil.

Bakololo, or Bakulolo ?

It's not often that Setswana language shows a good retention of an ancient Kalanga word. The Bakololo of Sebetwane were Bafokeng, as we all know. Now, the word Bakololo does not mean anything in Setswana. In morden Kalanga it means "sons" or "defenders". The defenders sense of the word derives from the "bravery" of Sebetwane's soldiers.

On closer examination, the Setswana word for "warm" is "mololo". This suggests that there used to be a Kalanga phrase/sentence "ku lolo", meaning "it's warm". "Ku lolo!" would have been the call made by the Anunnaki for someone to start fanning them. This would be the opposite of "ku totho" meaning "it's cold". The correct name for Bakololo therefore must have been "Ba-kulolo".


To learn more about the lizards (zwibululu thungulu dza bidwa) the reader is referred to comments on David Icke's webside - davidicke.com.  These must be the same lizards that drove the Anunnaki from Mapungubwe, as depicted on the Zimbabwe soapstone birds.

Dothodzo Bakhwa! (Peace Bushmen!)

-The "angels" used to work AT NIGHT, to build Lalibela in Ethiopia.
-An "old woman" made the Easter Island Rapa Nui Moais walk AT NIGHT.
-The African "witches and wizards" carry out their nefarious duties AT NIGHT.

All the above tasks were done by the Anunnaki. The reason they were done at night was not because the Anunnaki were avoiding prying eyes, it was all because IT WAS TOO HOT for the Anunnaki to work during the day. That is partly the reason why the Shems (rockets) were so important to them - they often blasted off into space just to escape the heat on planet earth! They came from a much colder planet.

From the names of the different nations/tribes that we have managed to unpack this far, it's safe to conclude that all nations started as work-groups wherever the Anunnaki "settled". The one "work" that had to be done in all these settlements was TO KEEP THE ANUNNAKI DRY FROM SWEAT, EITHER WITH ICE BLOCKS, OR WITH FANS. Indeed the first human to be engineered would probably have been trained for this task. The Kalanga verb "KU KHWA" means "TO DRY UP". The word "hakhwa" means "arm-pit".

 Enter the "Bushmen", whose true name is "Nkhwa" in singular, and "Bakhwa" in plural. The people called Bushmen are therefore the work-group that kept the Anunnaki sweat-free by means of ice blocks in Southern Africa, and by means of fans in Egypt.

Pharao Menes/Narmer/Mn, being considered the first Pharaoh in Egypt, had to be Nkhwa. To a Kalanga, this is self evident from the Narmer Palette. The totem of Bakhwa is  "chuma", which is said to be a bull (Nkomo) that dies as a result of castration. The word "chuma" is a corruption of the Kalanga word "chi-wuma". The verb KU WUMA means to whip one's hand past someone's face as if you are going to slap them, but just missing them in the process. This is exactly what one does with a fan.

In Setswana language "Bakhwa" are called "Bafokeng" i.e fan-bearers. A castrated bull is still their totem, although the Sheti and Hentai Lizards have now duped them into believing that their totem is the crocodile (lizard).

And so, in the Southern African Kala-hali where man was genetically engineered, ice blocks had to be used in Ghaa-nzi (Ice-home) to keep the Anunnaki cool; while in Egypt fans were used. This scenario is exquisitely demonstrated in the encouter between an Egyptian Nkhwa by the name Pharaoh Narmer, and a group of Southern African Bakhwa (hands in armpits) with an Anunnaki sitting in an iced enclosure right before Pharaoh Narmer IN THE NARMER MACE-HEAD. The Narmer macehead clearly depicts a pelican on the side of the three Bakhwa figures (hands in armpits). The pelican is a bird closely associated with regions where Southern African Bakhwa reside.

The two fans under Pharaoh Narmer's high seat on the Narmer macehead declare the Pharaoh as Nkhwa-khwa (Khoe-khoe).

So, I know exactly who my grandmother was, and so (I hope) does Roy his, and you know who, his ;-)

Kgalagadi, my foot!

Tswana language corrupted our land.

The harm done to our country by the lizards is immense. Hardly any place names reflect their true intent/meaning any more. One sincerely hopes that in fulfilment of the calls made by former presidents Seretse Khama of Botswana (a nation without a past...) and Thabo Mbeki of South Africa (I am an African....), Southern Africa will soon begin to write its true history - the history that is "just as worthy as any, to write about".

The first step should be to reverse the corruption that Tswana language has unleashed on Kalanga names. One such name is "Kgalagadi". The name Kgalagadi is a corruption of a corruption. The first corruption was "Kalahari"; while the true word is "Kala-hali".
The "Kala-" part of the word needs no introduction. It has the same meaning as in "Kala-nga". The "-hali" part has also been introduced already, in the description of God "Mu-hali" or "Mwali" as he is more often referred to. "Hali" literrally means "pot", and is metaphorically used to mean "womb".

And so the correct word for "Kalahari" is "Kala-hali", meaning "the pot in which the Kalanga was made". And so the first human,  Ada-mwe, meaning "loving another" was probably made in the town Ghanzi (Ice-home) in the Kalahali.

At this point one may ask why the people found in the Kalahali today do not speak Kalanga anymore. The answer is simple. Kalanga language was a lingua franca, and was therefore retained in "industrial places" during Anunnaki times. The gold mines of Nyangabwe (Francistown) and its environs were an ideal place to retain Kalanga, just as the stone homes of Nzimabgwe (Zimbabwe), Nzi-umu-bani (Zumubany) and Nkami (Khami) were equaly well industrialised concentrations of  Kalangas/humans.

We know from two sources that the Anunnaki mined gold in Africa. The first source is the Sumerian tablets themselves as translated by Zechariah Sitchin. The second source is a novel by H. Rider Haggard, titled "King Solomon's mines". The description of a toothless old woman in that novel accurately fits an Anunnaki woman. Her name was Ghagool, which could be a corruption of "Ghaa-gulu", meaning "iced stomach". We know that the Anunnaki ate contents of human stomachs. H. Rider Haggard must have put together excerpts from African folklore to come up with his novels.

And so at the centre of all these settlements  in the north and Mapungubwe in the south, we find a gold-mining town around which Kalanga language has been retained. This must be where the Anunnaki gold originated from and why Francistown/Nyangabwe remains a Kalanga speaking town to this day.

Glorious Nyangabge Hill

Nyanga in Ikalanga means horns. This is the hill after which Francistown was named DURING ANUNNAKI TIMES. That is where a lot of the gold that ended at Mapungubwe was mined.

Ancient "civil order"

For people who find it hard to believe that the Mapungubwe mesa was as civilised a society as any today, consider its name - Po. In Kalanga, "Po" literally means "At the place".

The Kalanga verb KU LISA means TO GUARD. A guard is "nlisi". The guards at Mapungubwe were therefore the first PO-LISI; now better known in English as the Police. No wonder a great majority of nations find nothing wrong with using the universal name -Police; Polisi; Policia; Polizei etc.

We create the monsters that our politicians become.

A few years ago, it took a British judge, retiring from service on the Botswana bench, to point out the unconstitutionality of the President appointing a judge from outside the list of candidates recommended by the Judicial Service Commission. Our learned legal fraternity may have been fully aware that what the President was doing was unconstitutional, but were either too scared to speak out, or simply couldn't be bothered.

We create the monsters that our African politicians become, as soon as they assume the reins of state leadership. We give them blank checks to do as they please, rather than safeguard the constitutional rights of the people they govern
.
Take the doctrine of separation of powers, for example. Legal minds in Botswana have argued quite persuasively that in reality, there is no separation of powers in Botswana - the Executive exercices power that should be held by the Judiciary and by Parliament.

What better proof of that can you get, than that  the president's potrait hangs above the head of the judge at the high court, and that at Parliament his chair is constructed literally "above" parliamentarians' chairs, as though Parliament is subserviant to him, and not the other way around.

I have been watching the Oscar Pistorius trial, but I never saw a picture of Jacob Zuma hanging behind Judge Masipa. Why is that so? Has the South African judiciary usurped any of Mr. Zuma's powers? I don't think so.

Are Francistown councillors insane?

Botswana politicians never cease to amaze me, but when it comes to being ridiculous Francistown councillors beat the rest.

Now they are busy changing the names of streets in the city of Francistown from nice impersonal names to their own predecessors' names, presumably with the hope that future councillors will continue the practice and name future streets after guess whom!

Surely if there is any need to change any names in Francistown, the first thing should be to give Francistown its original name - Nyangabwe. Only then would it make any sense to change other names.

Youth, please register to vote and Spoil the ballot!

This is a call to the youth of Botswana to engage in the only political protest for which NO police permission is required. The youth are being called upon to register in droves for the forthcoming General Election, with the sole intention of casting a SPOILT vote so as to register their discontent with the prevailing economic and political conditions in the country.

How does one cast a spoilt vote? To cast a spoilt vote, a voter simply marks ALL the candidates presented on the ballot paper. The spoilt ballot will not be counted as belonging to ANY of the candidates. However, it will be counted as a valid vote - a spoilt vote. At the end of the counting of all ballots, the spoilt ballots will also be summed up and presented as a percentage of the TOTAL votes cast in the election. Imagine the fear it will strike into the hearts of whichever political party wins the election, if the spoilt vote accounts to, say 51% of the total vote. The youth will have sent a strong message to the rulers that they want change, that they want to see accountability in the way the economy is managed, that they are perfectly capable of USING THEIR VOTE TO TAKE OVER GOVERNMENT!

Why a spoilt vote? The Botswana landscape is littered with relics to economic mismanagement: The billions of Pula wasted in the Palapye glass factory project; the tens of millions of Pula wasted in the Serowe stadium project; the billions of Pula wasted in the Morupule B power station project; the millions of Pula in cost over-runs to build the Sir Seretse Khama Airport upgrade; the millions wasted in Francistown stadium; the list goes on and on. These are monies that could have been used to CREATE JOBS for youth! But the youth are helpless because the people who have been repeatedly voted into Parliament have no interest in changing the status quo. All they care about is their own "stomachs". They can't even hold the Executive to account, for fear lest the Executive decides to call a snap general election in which the Parliamentarians concerned will be swept aside by  rigged  party primary elections.

The situation is exacerbated by the fact that a Parliamentarian (or elected Councillor), once elected, can dump his pre-election manifesto,his political party, his promises to the electorate; he can renounce everything including his name, AND STILL REMAIN THE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED HIM, WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT, AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO PAY HIM/HER FOR THE NEXT FIVE LONG YEARS.

A spoilt ballot is perfectly legal. It is acknowleged as an effective form of vote to force the powers that be to take voters' concerns seriously. For a highly enlightenned advocacy for a spoilt ballot, I refer the reader to the column 'Opposite Poles' by Sameosi Mokgethiwa in the 'Weekend Post' newspaper of 18-24 January 2014. Sensitive readers are advised to substitute the words "Botswana Youth" for "BDP" in the said article, to avoid harm from reading putrid BDP propaganda.

"Bel-" means To Dig

The Anunnaki word stem "bel-" means "To dig". I don't know if this has anything to do with the English "bell". However, a few Kalanga words developed from said stem.

The diggers at Mapungubwe were called BaHUMBE. By the way, these are the people called "Dibetsa" by the Batugwa/Batlokwa. I believe that the final "BE" in BaHUMBE is part of "BEL-". My belief is borne out of the realisation that BaHUMBE are also referred to as "humbela", meaning "ant-eater". Indeed the totem of their nemesis, the Batugwa, is the ant-eater. This suggests that the full name of BaHUMBE is BaHUMBELA, meaning "those who dig".

The totem of BaHUMBE is ChiBELU, a pretty little bird called "Hoopoe" in English. I believe this is a misnomer. I think ChiBELU was originally a "khoodza-ntanda", which is a little grey bird which nests by DIGGING a hole in dried-up tree branches. Be that as it may, the bird's name again carries that word stem "bel-".

The BaHUMBE are also referred to as the Ndi-MBELE, meaning I'm a digger. Ndi-MBELE has now metamorphosed into NDEBELE in both South Africa and Zimbabwe. The "bel-" word stem is again the core of "Ndebele".

It is in the context of this "bel-" word stem that the construction of the Ethiopian rock-hewn churches at Lalibela can best be understood. As already indicated, "la" means "water/liquid/chemical". The word "li-" is a verb prefix. "Bela" is the verb, meaning "to dig". The word "Lalibela" therefore simply means "water (or liquid or chemical) digging". Thus the rock-hewn churches were hewn by the Anunnaki, using water. Hopefully science will explain exactly how it was done some day!

Ancient gods' names

The names of not only the gods, but other 'biblical' entities are easily understood in Kalanga. It must be admitted here straight away that the Anunnaki language differed in some respects from orthodox Kalanga.

But first the similarities:
The letter "E" at the beginning of a noun should be pronounced as the first "E" in the word "lever", and NOT as the first "E" inn the word "Enter". The corresponding sound in Kalanga/Nguni is written "i-". In Kalanga it means "it is-",while in Nguni it is fused together with the text following it to form a composite noun - e.g. i-mota, meaning a motor car.

Enlil: [I-nlili] - The crying one. Derived from the verb "Ku lila", meaning "To cry". The first impression one got from seeing the small eyes on the Anunnaki face (see the rock face at Khami) was that tears were streaming down their faces. We might have been monkeys at the time, but we knew what "crying" looked like.

Enki: [I-nki] - The living one. This name is derived from the word "Ka", meaning "spirit". Ka is not a Kalanga word, but a component of many Kalanga words, e.g. nkaka, meaning milk. The Kalanga equivalent of "Ka" is "ku chila/tjila" meaning "to be alive". Thus Enki's Kalanga name was "Nchili". Today "Nchili" also means a leather rope BECAUSE ENKI RESEMBLED A SNAKE. The resemblance of Enki to a snake was purely a result of his prolonged stay under zero gravity conditions, resulting in a severely elongated body.

Egypt: [I-giputa] - The sipping/kissing one. Derived from "Ku puta", meaning to sip (& also to kiss).

In conclusion, it is important to bear in mind that the Anunnaki did not have teeth, but they mated with the humans that they had engineered. It was a big celebration when what was expected to be an Anunnaki baby (Men/Mn/) was born with teeth (meno, in Kalanga). The god Anubis, however seems to have had teeth, because sugar cane (I-kpe, in Kalanga) carries his name. That may explain why it was he who was assigned to collect human stomach contents for the rest of the toothless gods.

Oscar Trial

I watched the Oscar Pistorius trial trial today. It seems strange that Barry Roux seeks to disprove the claim by Security that they initiated phone contact with Pistorius, by examining records of phone calls INITIATED by Oscar's phone and then triumphantly declaring that they show that Oscar, and not Security, initiated the contact! In my view, he can only prove who between Oscar and Security initiated the contact, by examining the phones of both Security and Oscar, specifically for MUTUAL contact.

Examining the phone of ONE side does not give the true picture at all! Gerry Nel shouldn't have let Roux get away with that one.

Kalanga predates both Shona and Sumerian/Coptic/Setswana languages.

The Kalanga word for “dog” is “mbnga”. Kalanga pronunciation can be tricky. I believe that if the pronunciation is strictly followed, the word could also be written “pknga”. Recall that ancient Kalanga followed the Nguni (Zulu) language format. In ancient Kalanga it would therefore have been “i-mbnga” or “i-pknga”.  We have shown that the suffix “nga” meaning “resemble” was appended to words to indicate the similarity between the concerned objects and some Anunnaki-related objects; e.g. “chimanga” meaning “maize cob”, which resembles “chima”, meaning “Anunnaki rocket”.

And so, the Kalanga word “i-pknga”, meaning “dog” unpacks to two words “i-kpe”, and the word “nga” appended to it. The word “i-kpe” is the name of the ancient Egyptian god Annubis. The Kalanga word for “dog” therefore translates to the phrase “like Annubis”.

The Shona language word for “dog”, however is “mbwa”. It carries no “nga” within it, therefore it can hardly be said to indicate any likeness to anything, certainly not to the Anunnaki god Annubis. This is irrefutable proof, if one was ever needed, that Kalanga language predates Shona language, and that therefore Shona is derived from Kalanga, and not the other way around.

The same goes for Setswana language, which is a version of Sumerian and Coptic. You see, the Anunnaki created us on LOVE. The Kalanga infinitive form of the verb for “TO LOVE” is “KU DA”. The first human was “ADA-MU”; the word for “SATAN” is derived from “SA-DANA”, meaning “NOT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER”. Ningishzidda’s name EADA (correctly a Kalanga word “i-Ada”) attests to the “LOVE” that our creators wanted us to follow. Ma-Nshakazhogwe’s name was “MADENE”. Her Setswana name was “MERIT-NIHT” which we are told means “LOVED BY NIHT”; most likely “Moratwa-i-Niht”. Of course we now know her as Mary (“MERI-!”) – Mother of Jesus!

When Marduk returned to Egypt (i-Gi-Puta) after he and his followers had their memories wiped out (re-programmed) while trying to construct the Tower of Babel, his followers no longer spoke Kalanga, but Setswana. He was now an absolute despot called “Ra” and he changed the Kalanga word “DA” meaning “(to) LOVE” to “Ra-DA” (Rata). Everything now revolved around Ra. Poor Ningishzidda (his younger brother) was banished to South America, where I believe there will be very little influence, if any, of Setswana language. That is how Egypt became Coptic/Tswana, and that is why the Israelites (Isi Ra, El/Illui) rejected him in favour of either Enlil or the Illui. According to some researchers, Ra ended up being kicked out of Egypt and of earth by the very same lizards who had re-programmed his followers at Babylon! So Setswana/Sumerian/Coptic originate from the reprogramming that was carried out to stop Ra from building a space port at Babylon. In other words Kalanga language predates Sumerian/Coptic/Setswana language.

Are our religions constitutional?

I recall reading what amounted to an altercation between Mr Iqbal Ebrahim (for Islam) and a Christian adherent whose name I no longer remember. 

The Christian was basically opposed to the practice by Supermarkets and others whereby meat products sold in the supermarkets are by default – halaal. He claimed that it was wrong for Christian customers to be forced to eat meat that had been dedicated to “false gods”. 

In response, Mr Ebrahim was indignant. How dare anybody call Almighty Allah, a false god.

Religious differences tend to become religious conflicts if swept under the carpet. For this reason I will, in due course, address the issue of Halaal foods in supermarkets. For now, I want us to establish a baseline – compliance with our country’s constitution.

I am told by those who understand constitutional language that our country’s constitution guarantees us, its inhabitants, freedom of religion and freedom of association. Any of my countrymen or women is free to want to associate with me, and I am free NOT to want to associate with them. That is freedom. I am free, at any time to worship any god, including the Devil. I am free to convert from Christianity to Islam and vice versa.

Now my question to both Mr Ebrahim and the Christian adherent mentioned earlier is this: Looking closely at your religion, would you say that it upholds the spirit of our constitution, particularly with regard to the freedom to convert to or away, from said religion?

I sincerely hope that both gentlemen will answer my question, somewhere, somehow.
