Strange that we "boot up", just like a computer!

It has been said that the reference to a computer "booting up" likens a computer to a traveller fastening the straps of his/her boots, and starting their journey.

The Anunnaki referred to something that they called "ka", which in present day parlance means "soul". Now the source of the word "ka/kaa" has been shown to be the art of tying together the legs of a cow, in preparation for milking. In fact the letter "k", whose original Kalanga name is "ka" closely resembles the tied-up legs of a cow [look at it]!

What this means is that use of the word "boot up" in the case of the computer, was inherited from our engagement of the soul, or our "tying up cow legs" as the Anunnaki would have called it. Further proof, isn't it, that life is but a sophisticated DNA-based computer system. Please don't worry if you don't quite understand what I am trying to say, neither do I!

Kalangas are not a tribe; it is Tswanas who are a composite tribe.

In the distant past I wrote that the late Old Man Mogomela, a Mokhurutshi whose tribe is recognised by all other Tswana tribes as the most senior tribe, once told me "Mokalaka gase morafe; Mokalaka go tewa lefatshe", meaning "Kalangas are not a tribe; by Kalangas we mean the land/country/world". It saddens me that there are some Kalanga writers who, for political expediency continue to label Kalanga speakers in Botswana as a tribe. Just before the October 2019 elections we were treated to propaganda by one such writer who extolled the virtues of one "Mavange" and claimed that  said Mavange had done for the Kalanga people much more than what previous Kalanga politicians had done before.

The claim by this Kalanga boot-licker is quite astounding. How could a guy who had not cut front teeth yet, that is if he had been born at all, when John Mosojane and others took up the struggle to save Kalanga language from forced extinction, be said to have done so much for the Kalanga people? The level to which some people can grovel for "food" is quite shocking. But that is a topic for another day. For now, and in passing, the subject of boot-licking brings to mind then vice president Mokgweetsi Masisi's comment about his vrtues as "lelope". Some people have since claimed that Mr. Masisi was in fact laying claim to Royal pedigree, while others insisted that Mr. Masisi was "coming clean" about his status as a boot-licker. I am inclined to agree with the former, because I think that Mr. Masisi was speaking Kalanga, although possibly unaware of it.

You see, blood is "lopa" in Kalanga. The closest advisors to the chief are naturally,  his blood relatives. Therefore the Tswana word "lelope" was derived from the Kalanga "lopa". This would suggest that "lelope" does not mean a boot-licker; quite the opposite! Furthermore the Kalanga word for blood anchors the river "Molopo" which forms our "prostatic gland" southern boundary, firmly in the Kalanga language.

This post is further intended to show how the name "Sebina" arguably proves that the Tswanas (Barwa) are an off-shoot of Kalangas and not vice-versa. My previous post showed that both the Kalanga and the Tswana versions of the name "Sebina" mean the same thing - "Sinning name". In Kalanga the individual referenced by the name was an "nkaya" by trade, thereby sound-clashing with the name of the Anunnaki god "Nka", also known as Enki. Therein lay the "sinning". No human could bear a name/reference similar to the name of a god! But in Tswana language no such "sinning" occurs, because the same individual was referenced as "Mokaa" and not "nkaya". There is no record of the god Enki being called "Mokaa" by any human group. Therefore the "sinning" reflected in the Tswana version of the name "Sebi'ina" never existed outside the Kalanga language. In other words the Sumerian/..Tswana version of the name is just a literal translation of the Kalanga name "Tjibizina". Given that it was the god Enki who genetically fashioned humanity, we can safely conclude that Kalanga language predates Sumerian/..Tswana languages AMONG HUMANS.

Indeed the name in the Sumerian records - Enki, is a "tswanalization" of Kalanga. You see, in ancient Kalanga,  where the active verb (or noun) ended with an "a", such as in the noun "ka", for soul/spirit, the actor also ended with an "a", such as "nka" meaning "giver of the soul/spirit". The Sumerian/..Tswana language changed that, by making the actor ennd with with an "i", such as "nki". The word "Enki" is an attempt to write "I-nki". Today Kalanga has sadly been swung in the direction of Sumerian/..Tswana. Ku mba is to sing; m-mbi is a singer. Ku da is to like/love; n-di is a liker/lover. Ku yenda is to go/travel; n-yendi is a traveller. Ku vima is to hunt; m-vimi is a hunter.

Allow me to muse over a question posed by a writer I have great respect for, Lediretse Molake, when he wondered if there were tribes prior to the emergence of modern tribes. I do not believe there were tribes before Homo sapiens appeared on the scene about a quarter of a million years ago. If we start from the widely accepted view that Homo sapiens was fashioned by the Anunnaki as a worker being, we immediately appreciate why man would have been assigned to work-groups. Kalanga language reinforces that view; the groups we call tribes today bear Kalanga work-group names that clearly identify what the responsibility of each such group was. While Homo Naledi, the being who existed around Mapungubwe area prior to the genetic modification, might have been more advanced than the present day chimpanzee, it is highly unlikely that he would have assigned himself to work-groups. If he had, the Anunnaki would probably have just used him, rather than go through the laborious task of fashioning us, Homo sapiens.

Today some tribes acknowledge that they are off-shoots of other tribes; the Bakaa maintain that they are an offshoot of Barolong. In fact it is highly unlikely that all tribes were created at the same time. The first seven births by Anunnaki women of human babies certainly could not have covered all tribes. My own thinking is that the Anunnaki would have wanted to closely monitor the first group of humans both for health reasons as well as for general adaptation to a disciplined existence. For those reasons the first tribe would have been the body coolers/fanners, i.e. Bakhwa, who are generally known as Bushmen today. Only after the Anunnaki were satisfied            that project Homo sapiens was successful would they have then assigned the offspring of these Bakhwa to the real targetted occupation - digging (ku tsha). It is rather revealing that among the Bakhwa today, the word "tshaa" is not associated with gold but with water. We know which workgroup dug for water, it was the Chinese. It is therefore possible, indeed probable that the first progeny of Bakhwa were deployed to dig, not for gold but for water.

The bottom line of course is that these Bakhwa and their progeny spoke Kalanga language at the time. Kalanga language is the only language in Botswana which truly bears characteristics of a national language. To call Kalangas a "minor" tribe of a supposedly Tswana nation is to fly in the face of common sense.

Correcting the name "Sebina"

I was listening to the radio sports bulletin the other day when the announcer tried, not very successfully to read the name Tjizwina, presented as the name of the village officially known as Sebina village. We Kalangas have never liked the Tswana name Sebina. The village is called Tjizwina by the vast majority of its inhabitants, who are Kalanga-speaking. But it has to be remembered that when an attempt was made to change the official name of the village from Sebina to Tjizwina, the attempt failed; the villagers stuck to the Tswana name Sebina. So what exactly is the correct name of that village?

The correct name of that village is the Kalanga phrase "Tjibi zina", which means the same as the Tswana "Sebi leina" , or (when shortened) "Sebi'ina". In English both mean "Sinning name". But wherein lies the sin? To figure that out you have to go back to the origin of man. The first holder of the title "Tjibi zina" belonged to the human work-group responsible for tying together the feet of cows during milking. In Kalanga the tribe is known as the Bakaya; a single member as Nkaya. The name reference "Nkaya" would have sounded very much like the name of the Anunnaki god "Enki". In Kalanga the god's name was rendered "I-Nki" or simply "Nka", meaning "the giver of life". And so the tribal work-group title of an Nkaya coincided with the name of the god Enki, and it was therefore considered a sin to use the title Nkaya/Nkaa  to refer to the tribesman. But what could people do? It was not as if it was a personal name, in which case it would have been swiftly changed. The "name" was actually a job title, and nothing could be done about it; sickening though it was to vocalise it in reference to a mere mortal. So a solution was worked out - simply refer to the human as "Sinning name", which in the Kalanga became "Tjibi zina".

The name "Tjibi zina" was probably the first casualty of the takeover by Reptilians, of humanity's affairs. Tjibi zina's work-group the Bakaya, was one of four work-groups collectively called the "Bathuwa" in Kalanga. The Reptilian Igigi who put the four workgroups together, to start the milk economy, referred to the four groups as "Barua" in their language, Sumerian/Arab/Coptic/Sotho/Tswana. The Kalangas gradually shifted from calling them "Bathuwa"  to calling them "Barwa", a corruption of the word "Barua". The four Barwa work-groups are the Bakaa, Bakwena, Bangwato, and Bangwaketse. The Reptilian Igigi viewed humanity as no more than milk workers; oh, and wives of course! But crucialy, they spoke to humanity in their own reptilian language - Sumerian/Arab/Coptic/Sotho/Tswana. Consequently humanity moved to adopt the language of their new gods, presumably as some sort of status symbol. This is the language which has corrupted the Kalanga base in almost every language on earth, from Shona to Mandarin, from Korean to English, from Japanese to Russian, from Khwe to Hawaian and Swahili.

And so the correct name of the village officially known as "Sebina" today is the Kalanga "Tjibizina" or the Tswana "Sebina" depending on your language preference. It is possible though that the Kalanga "Tjibizina" might initially have been abbreviated to a more palatable "Tji'zina", which name eventually "sound-creeped" to the current "Tjizwina".

Credit is duly given to Albert Malikongwa's poem Mitetembelo ye Baka Madandume, where I first learnt of the name "Tjibizina".

Reading ancient Kalanga right

The ancient spelling of Kalanga words is markedly different from modern spelling of the same words. This leads one to not understand many Sumerian record references that one would otherwise understand were the words written in modern Kalanga spelling. The most common difference is that the vowel was often omitted , especially at the end of a word. Some of the names of gods that the Sumerian records refer to  are certainly Kalanga language words.

The name of the goddess "Inanna" should be read "Inanana", meaning something "sweet", like pussy.
The name of Israelite priests - the "Essene", should be read "I si-sene" or "I sa-sene". Both pronunciations mean the same thing - "celibate". The root is "ku sena" which as we recently showed, means "to go under (something)" as in the case of the word "Sinai" or "tjisena nyemba".

Free-speech muzzling law

Some people may be wondering why I shut down my “nkalangaunozwida” blog. Well, there are several reasons, most significant of which is the imminent tabling of a “cybercrime law”. This is a draconian piece of legislation. In the guise of outlawing criminal behaviour such as online child pornography, cyber stalking, cyber bullying, the law will effectively silence not only social media, but mainstream news media as well:
“A person who wilfully, maliciously or repeatedly uses electronic communication of an offensive nature to disturb or attempt to disturb the peace, quiet or privacy of any person with no purpose to legitimate communication, whether or not a conversation ensues, commits an offence and is liable to a fine not exceeding P20 000 or to imprisonment of a term not exceeding one year, or both.”

The strife that is expected to characterise the next general elections in 2019 as a result of the Government outlawing use of a paper ballot at elections, and replacing such ballot with an electronic voting machine (EVM), is the probable reason why draconian legislation has to be aimed at computer use.

A strange facet of the legislation is the recurring phrase “by means of a computer or a computer system…” It is as if the intention is less about outlawing criminal activity than it is about outlawing use of a computer.  For example, it has always been a crime to “insult another person on the basis of race, colour, descent, nationality, ethnic origin, tribe or religion” regardless of the method by which such insult is uttered. The proposed bill’s pronouncement:
“A person who, by means of a computer or a computer system, insults another person on the basis of race, colour, descent, nationality, ethnic origin, tribe or religion commits an offence and is liable to a fine not exceeding P40 000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both” 
clearly shows that the computer and not the act per se, is being targeted for outlawing by this law.

In this day and age there is hardly any human activity that is done without use of a computer or computer system. Cameras, phones, note pads all have computers embedded in them. The law proposes to outlaw taking of photographs at accident scenes, purportedly to protect families of accident victims from seeing their maimed or killed relatives on social media before they are “officially” informed by the police. What this means is that relatives will first have to apply for police permission to take photographs at accident scenes. If the supposed “police” were somehow implicated in the “traffic-accident” you can imagine how difficult it would be, especially for relatives, to get permission to photograph such an “accident” scene! In a continent where “Intelligence Services” routinely arrange the demise of opposition activists in “traffic accidents”, outlawing of cameras at “accident” scenes might be just what the doctor ordered; for the “Security Services” of course.

Some people may wonder why there seems to be little or no civil society opposition to the proposed draconian legislation.  Close examination reveals a carefully laid out plan by the ruling party to blackmail the parliamentary opposition into helping pass the bill with very few, if any obstacles. There has been a rumour doing rounds in the press, that some prominent ruling party political leaders are in possession of illegally acquired and highly compromising extra-marital sex videos of some prominent opposition political leader/s, which videos they are threatening to release into cyberspace just before the 2019 general elections. Given such a scenario it is understandable why the concerned opposition political personalities and their supporters would be keen to support the proposed “anti-cybercrime” draconian legislation. The ruling party has almost literally grabbed the opposition by the b…..ls.

And so dear reader, this blog “myikalanga.blogspot.com” hereby falls silent too.

Maybe it's all fake news.

Suppose Spain imposes direct rule on Catalonia and then "suspends" it! That is what my friend says seems to be in the pipeline. I just laughed at the suggestion. I mean we are looking at the possibility of people dying here, aren't we?

And so this blog falls silent for good.

If you look at my Introduction and my Interests on this blog, you will see that the blog has achieved its objectives:

I have gone far back into history and (hopefully) helped bring you and me closer together.

I have, I believe, successfully traced Tswana language back to its Martian past, and thus debunked the myth that Sumerian/Coptic/Sotho/Tswana language has been spoken by Earthlings longer than Kalanga language.

None of the above would have been possible had they not commanded that I fall (ndiwe); had they not protected me for close to seventy years. Their most cryptic act of course was to suggest "hey demigod, how about fulfilling your mission now?"

And so, this blog falls silent for good.

My apologies, technology is playing tricks on me; it's not this blog that has fallen silent, but "nkalangaunozwida.blogspot.com". The blog "myikalanga.blogspot.com" may continue for a while longer.
