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.
