Will "Umbrella" rescue Ikalanga?


The news that the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) political party is about to be launched is very welcome to me as a Kalanga. I am eagerly awaiting the explicit, non-ambiguous, non-repudiatable policy position of the UDC on indigenous languages of our Republic, including but not limited to, Setswana language.

Specifically, I would like to know how a future UDC government is going to ensure that my Kalanga tax is not used to promote Setswana language at the expense of my language – Ikalanga.

For forty-six years of Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) rule I have watched helplessly as Ikalanga language was driven into the ground; as what I now know to be the full Draco Reptillian agenda was savagely unfurled to cover the length and breadth of our motherland. Now that there is hope, in the form of the UDC, let us hear it spelt out, loud and clear!

Ikalanga language at UN ;-)

And so, as a language that all humanity used to speak, and that some people still speak, Ikalanga language deserves to be accepted as another official language at the United Nations. It is to be hoped that after the experts have established that indeed we all used to speak Ikalanga, it (Ikalanga) will be taught in every capital city in the world, including but not limited to Accra, Beijing, Berlin, Moscow, Kigali, London, New York, Paris, Washington etc.

Feeling like a sparrow


Late last winter, I sometimes watched little birds (sparrows?) fight their reflections in my car’s side mirrors. The “sparrow” would perch on top of the mirror and look downwards; presumably see an inverted “combatant”, then take off with claws stretched out towards the mirrored “enemy”. The birds would perk, kick, and of course “sh!t” on my mirror until I got tired of watching and left. I always wondered how the birds felt when they eventually realised that the “combatant” they saw in the mirror was their own image. Now I have some idea as to how they must feel!

I must confess that I have not read any of Zacharia Sitchin’s books. I have only come across material, both online and in print that was written ABOUT him and his translation of Sumerian texts. The material introduced me to “Shems (rockets)”, “the Anunnaki”, “King Anu”  etc. It was fascinating, though hard-to-believe material. Now I realise that the Sumerians were writing about ME, as a Kalanga, and I feel just like those sparrows.

Take king Anu for example. Ancient Egyptian Kalanga, and Dombodema (Zimbabwe) Kalanga refer to “people” as “Banu or Banhu”. This literally means “Anu’s (people)”. So the Kalanga have always considered people as (King) Anu’s subjects. Interestingly, the Southern Kalangas replace the “n” with a “t”, and refer to “people” as “Bathu”. Nguni languages (Xosa, Zulu) refer to “people” as “aBantu”, from which the classification “Bantu” originates. The English language betrays the function of the rear orifice in feeding the Anunnaki, and calls it the “anus”.  The Kalanga language similarly recognises the rear orifice, calling it “ipa-ato” which literally means “give to Ato”. How did “Anu” become “Ato”?. How did “nambo” meaning “a step” become “thambo”?. I suspect the Draco Reptilians forced people to spit (Apthu!) when talking about King Anu. Consequently, people automatically replaced the “n” with a “t” in most of their nouns.

The Shems (rockets) have suffered from the ancient script of omitting vowels. I have previously posited that they were probably named after a cow whip (chimi/tjimi) because they made a similar cracking sound on take-off.  Now I realise that it was the cow whip that was named after the rockets, and not the other way around.  The Kalanga word “chimi” is a noun formed from the infinitive case verb “ku ma” meaning “to stand”. The act of “standing” is certainly more associated with a rocket than with a cow whip!

The name of the Pharaoh “Men” also suffered from the vowel-dropping ancient script. The name was then, and should now, be correctly pronounced as “Meno”, meaning “teeth”. This is not something we conjure from our imagination. Some of the Moyo people, who originate from ancient Egypt call themselves “Ba-Meno” meaning “Meno’s (people)” today. Furthermore they praise themselves as “People from the big river, the Nile; people who fail to eat cooked whole grain food, due to the wide spacing of their teeth!” Therefore their teeth have a genetic feature, probably attributable to the Pharaoh “Meno’s” teeth.  It makes me wonder if the Pharaoh “Meno” was genetically more Anunnaki  (no teeth) than most other humans of his time.
In Kalanga, the word “Anu-nnaki” translates to “Anu-the-beautiful”. I am not prepared to argue with Sumerian experts on this one, so I will leave it as “ANU.NNA.KI” which the experts claim means “Anu.who-stays.on-earth” in the Sotho/Tswana language.

Finally, it is worth noting that the Sotho/Tswana language, along with the Coptic, and (I believe) Hebrew language, belongs to the same family as the Sumerian language. There is therefore nothing surprising about ancient Sumerian script being understandable to a Sotho/Tswana scholar. It is all part of the Draco reptilian lingo. What one needs to bear in mind while studying the Sumerian clay tablets, or “integrating a truth matrix” is that the gods described therein spoke Kalanga, while the tablet writers spoke a Draco reptilian language similar to Sotho/Tswana.
