It is gratifying to note that some erstwhile advocates of
“Setswana is the only NATIONAL language of Batswana” have now toned down their
hysteria to the point of acknowledging that there exist other equally
“indigenous” languages in Botswana. The
journey has not been easy.
Ikalanga language , as can be expected from the language of
the Anunnaki, carries the history of humanity. This is not to say that Ikalanga
language answers all the fundamental questions regarding humanity’s existence.
No; far from it. The language merely helps us to understand the Sumerian
account better. For example, did man exist in his/her current form before the
Anunnaki arrived on earth? The Sumerian tablets, courtesy of Zacharia Sitchin,
say “NO”.
One Ikalanga language word, the name of a village about 50
Km west of Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, seems to corroborate the Sumerian
tablets’ account. The village is called “Molepolole”, a corruption of the
Ikalanga sentence “Mu li pulule”. The sentence
“Mu li pulule” is an instruction, and can be broken down as follows:
Mu: Do, as in “Do come here”.
Li: It, as in “Do milk it”
Ku pulula: a verb, equivalent verb in English is unknown to
me. But let me explain. I believe the verb “to pull” is a derivation. It means
pulling something (like leaves or small berries) off a retainer (such as a twig).
The people who now reside in the village Molepolole were generally
milkers and cow minders, during the Anunnaki days. The instruction “Mu li
pulule (ilo zhamu)” instructs them to grab a cow’s teats and pull downwards so
that milk comes out. For humans to have been taught such a basic skill suggests
that these were the first humans to emerge from monkey status!
In the west of Botswana is a city called Ghanzi. The
Tswana-speaking chauvinists have been battling to Tswanalise its name, and
change it to Gantsi. So far, thanks to the inhabitants of Ghanzi, the
chauvinists have failed. Ghanzi is actually Ghaa Nzi, meaning “Ice home”. It
would seem that this is where the Anunnakis first landed on earth, and used the
sun’s energy to try and simulate conditions on Mars. The people who inhabit
this area are called “Bakhwa” in IKalanga. The word “Bakhwa” may mean “inhabitants
of the dried out area”. Considering that
the Anunnaki left Mars because she had dried out, it makes sense that they
would have first wanted to occupy a place on earth that shows signs of having
dried out too – the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans or the Kalahari expanse. The claim
by the people of this area to be the First People of the Kalahari (apologies to
FPK) may be true after all! There is also evidence that Bahumbe, who are the
people who were digging toilet holes on Mapungubwe hill, were imported from the
Kalahari as Makaukau. In other words when skilled personnel were required to
dig toilet holes, the Anunnaki brought such people in from the Kalahari, either
to do the digging themselves, or to teach the Bahumbe how it’s done. Long live “Ghanzi”;
down with “Gantsi”.
