@moraakeen Rhodesia was like this but now a hip of garbage. Very soon SA will be like the rest of Africa because of Black incapacity to govern. There is no word for "maintenance" in African languages. Already a lot of former White areas are like Kibera with heaps of uncollected filth.
@linkiekas It's high time the UB as our premier university give guidance on the usage of these honorary titles. I see some of these local supermarket universities dishing out these titles. Ghana, Malawi have started to provide rules on these esp that Africans like title they haven't earned
@FaraiMazhindu There is no railway which is working in postcolonial Africa. It's all rot. Kings/Queens College Lagos, Govt College Umuahia/Ibadan, Fouray Bay, Makerere, Fort Hare - the bed schools in sub Saharan Africa build by British ruined by Black rule. Read Achebe, 2012 it's a cri de cœur.
@_simplyenny These surnames extend all the way as far as Malawi among the Ngonis. Zwangendaba crossed the Zambezi into Zambia Malawi and parts of Tanzania. So these are not necessarily SA surnames but southern central africa
@otsiletshwn "were they not mere emulators of others who daily stole more from us than mere lace and terylene?" Achebe 1987:ix. The one stealing billions have gone scot-free. Of a mere constable manning a road block has lost his job for a mere lace and terylene maybe P50 to buy Mogodu.
@NewsLionSA I fully support SAs. Foreigners are a national security threat. No country shld allow itself to be swamped buy aliens. They just have to go back to their countries. Zims & Nigerians find it easy to go to other countries instead facing their challenges.
@Sakhi_Afrika The ANC has been indeed a disgrace and an indictment to Black people's capacity to govern. They shld have learnt something from the catastrophic collapse of Zim. Instead they opened the country to immigrants running away from collapsed African states. The result: collapse.
@NewsLionSA SA shld secure it's borders as a matter of urgency. Otherwise I see the people rising and getting rid of the inept govt. Zims, Malawians, Nigerians need to go back to their countries. Nigerians and Zimbabweans are a national security threat.
@zandatoto In fact in Zim they used to have Zulu as a subject before Ndebele was made a distinct lang. Basically there are only 3 languages in southern Africa, Sotho tswana, Nguni & karangashona
@MachonaMarco@ProfJNMoyo@gilbert_ga94083@DrMutambudzi Great staff! One thing we always miss is making language synonymous with ethnicity. About 85% of people who speak Ndebele are not Ndebele. Most are Kalanga or Sotho. Most Moyos, ndlovus, Nyathi are not Ndebele.
