Back to Ikalanga language.

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”.
