Your Excelencies, what did you understand?

 Just before he left office, then US President Barack Obama addressed African heads of states assembled in Adis Ababa. I wonder who had invited him. Anyway, Obama said things, some of which if taken up and practiced by his listeners would pull Africa out of the poverty that she is currently in and has been in for thousands of years.

Two things stand out, in my opinion. Obama said that if he were to run again for elections he was confident that he could win, but that he could not run again because that is what the constitution of the United States mandated - two terms and no more! The other thing that Obama said, which is in a way related to the first is that Africa needs strong institutions, and not strong men.

Your Excelencies, what did you think as you sat listening to those words of one of your own?

  

"It is the BDP that is dying - BNF"

 Unless you are a "Botswana-n" this post will be of no interest to you. 

I have just read the above titled article by BNF publicity official Justin Hunyepa. It's really sad. You see, I enjoy watching wildlife documentaries on TV, particularly the way that animals forage or hunt for food.

When lionesses decide to make a kill, first they pretend to be abandoning their vintage points. They actually behave as though they are dispersing, when in actual fact they are encircling their prey. From a safe distance of "dispersal" they crawl back into formation around their prey, all the while keeping hidden in the most camouflaging vegetation. When the time is right, they pounce! The prey finds itself running from one lion to another equally ferocious one lying in ambush with its strength fully preserved.

My advice to Hunyepa and BNF: You are almost fully surrounded. It started in Palapye in 1998 when, because you did not have a Party Intelligence Department, you could not appreciate the crisis of conscience that your Director of Elections was grappling with. Now the encirclement is almost complete. In 2024 it will be a complete whitewash, probably the first genuine one since 1966. 

What is gold called in Kalanga language?

The town of Francistown in Northern Botswana is an ancient gold mining town. It is thanks to the gold mining that Kalanga language is still spoken in the surrounding areas - northern Botswana, south western Zimbabwe. Nyangabwe, as Franscistown was called during the Anunnaki-led mining operations, is connected to Mapungubwe hill by seasonal dry river channels.

So what is gold called in Kalanga? I have long puzzled over what is seemingly the absence of a word for gold in Kalanga. It was not until I adopted a methodical  inquiry that things became clear. The leading Anunnaki workgroup in mining operations were the Bakhurutshe. Indeed some accounts give their name as deriving from "mining supervision". The most technically advanced group of Bakhurutshe are the Russians. So what do the Russians call gold? Well, they call it "zolota"; as interesting a Kalanga word as they come.

The Kalanga verb "Ku lota" means "to burn and turn into ash". So the word "Zolota" means "that which burns and turns into ash/powder". To me this is the first confirmation that the stories I have been reading about monatomic gold (ormus) during the Anunnaki presence on Earth are true. So the Kalanga word for gold is the same as the Russian word for it - "zolota". It has to be, because the word is a Kalanga word anyway!
