It is my pleasure 😊

😃 Thank you! I look forward to your viewership.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it🙏

That is an interesting opinion. Is there a reason for that?

I have one incoming just for you 🤗

Really?😃 I'm surprised to learn that! I'll definitely look into it!

🤣🤣🤣 how to spread inaccurate information 101!

Some people are heavily invested in the narrative that Bantu people come from West Africa, even if this goes against all oral history of the Bantu people. You have to wonder why? I have nothing against West Africa and Cameroon is just a meeting point between Bantu people and West Africans. To say the first Bantu people come from there is like saying a meeting point between Lesotho and Zululand is where Basotho and Amazulu originate from. A meeting point is nothing but a meeting point. Not a point of origin. Besides, according to science Africa is more genetically diverse than the rest of the world combined. It's very easy to tell a Southern African from a West African. On top of that looks can also be deceiving. Some people like to claim that we're genetically the same with West Africans. You don't even need to be a scientist to understand this obvious difference in our genes: there's a genetic medical condition called Sickle Cell Disease which is very common in West Africa and non-existent among the natives of South Africa and neighbouring countries. African Americans have this condition, showing that they came from West Africa; but we don't have it, showing that we don't come from West Africa.

As far as saying "Basotho are the people of the sun" could also mean the San tribe which later form with the Khoi to be now the Khoi-San. Maybe that what is meant about the sun(San)

around 250000BCE in Southern Afrika

Thank you! You are correct. Some versions of African history seem to have been written based on bias or a misunderstanding of our culture. That's very interesting, I was not aware of that. Would that then mean the notion that African clans are named after the animal the leaders venerate is wrong? I'm asking because it is said that Bakuena are named after their founding ancestor Koena, who his ancestors named him so because they would liked him to venerate the characteristics of the koena (crocodile)

Yes for some reason, Africans are associated or attached to animals, most of our totems like Koena, Nyathi, Motsweni-tsweni, tholo,tlou-ndlovu etc that includes vegetation and the landscape. In Nguni if a child is mischievous or sickly: you hear the elders say " uthunyiselwe ngenyamazana engeyona" meaning they've used a wrong animal(rituals) when the child is born. Animals have a meaning to Africans in general if have that belief. The other notion that Khoisan are the first to arrive in southern Africa is neither here nor there. The question, were do they come from? Answer is Africa. The Khoisan are allover southern Africa unfortunately, non of our educated skilled people are interested in that field, like Dr Anta Cheik Diop. I once visited northern Cape, there's strong similarities between the Khoisan and the BaTswana. Amongst the Khoisan there are BaKhotho, BaSarwa BaGrikwa who are in the south eastern Cape. Amongst the Ngunis Abathwa who are within these groups.

​@@phumzijele7931 you are making very interesting points. Thank you so much for your input!

@@phumzijele7931 I find what you're saying fascinating. Nna I've always wondered why rona as South Africans are not rewriting our history? Cheik Anta Diop, although African, was a Senegalese. I don't think it would have be fitting for him to explain who the southern Africans were, despite being African. Although , in the broader scheme of things, we could give him more credit than europenas for narrating African history. I just think its imperative on us to assume our history, and it starts in our spaces, like at work, at public spaces etc, anywhere were dialogue persists. South Africans should tell the world about the history of Sourth Africa. When it comes to Kemet, Kush and all those places, then hey, its free fo all, that one is all of us together.

I have actually heard that, almost like when you reverse the map of Africa. How much truth do you think there is to that? Do you have any information about what happened after the building of Kemet?

I try to collect information from every source I can; some of it is from English textbooks.

Kea leboha. This is a very interesting narrative to note, and well explained. There have been similar explanations, ehlile ekannaba ha ua fosa. Especially because the migration is missing some information itself kae kae. I hope more information will one to light in the future that will prove for certain what happened.

Your half true, although we did mix a lot but, mitochondrial dna carries the ancestry to which you can pin point where your mothers side comes from originaly and it's only passed on by Woman to children. On the other hand Y chromosomes can can pinpoint your father origin and its passed only from father to son. So every individual can pinpoint exactly where their ancestors came from originally. But do I agree basotho are not entirely from niger/congo as the are khoi/xam mixtures within.

Are you the lady I talked to on another social media platform a while back?

I must say, our languages have a way with words.👌 ke rata tsela eo u hlalositseng ka eona. Ana u leka ho re Botswana ekanna ea ba "the original place" and Setswana "the original language?"?

@@lesothowiththeresialibe7968 not exactly Botswana per say but Southern Africa is the original common place of our ancestors and yes Setswana is the original language , many words and names found in many different languages sounding the same or similar meaning exactly the same things as in Setswana! This shows that factions and break ups lead to disassociation meaning change of language and culture to make themselves different from the Main group still some words , names and cultural aspects remained unchanged ! The San also have Setswana in their language , one example is Nxake in San and Nnake in Setswana , sounds the similar and means the same thing! My young sibling.

Do you perhaps know if any research has been done in this regard, especially the relations between San language and Setswana? What you said about the nxake v nnake really caught my attention....

@@lesothowiththeresialibe7968 no I don’t know of any research ! Just me recognising words when people speak and asking what it means only to find out it means what I thought it meant , like matata in Swahili is mathata in Setswana meaning worries , troubles or difficulties! And i found murimi 👩‍🌾 in Shona is molemi 👩‍🌾 in Setswana meaning a crop farmer ! To have many words in many different languages meaning or describing the same things in one language informs my opinion that Setswana is the original language! Nama🥩is meat in Setswana but is also found in Ghana & Nigeria meaning meat .

What you are saying is interesting, because there are a lot of conflicting theories about the location of Ntsoana-Tsatsi. Could it be that the one you're referring to is the one also called the Congo basin? So you think they'll go back to Egypt at some point?😁

Not Kgopane ke Gopane

Interestingly, that's one of the versions I came across as I was researching but I didn't find much information on it. Can you tell us more about it?

Thank you🙏, my apologies.

Even it is on school history lesson from primary to secondary. Even if you ask ancestors will tell is not hidden. It is open . Find or Google the land of jew(or yahudi) here on KZfaq. Will see what white people trying to lie.

Bantu speaking group claim to come from Kemet, but according European scholars the Bantu people migrated from Cameroon. Dr Cheik Anta Diop and Theophile Obenga proved that Bantu languages were related to Kemet language. For example, the BaLemba people are Jews who were high priest travelled from Senna to southern Africa. They(European scholars) tried to deny it by using DNA unfortunately it proved them wrong.
