I& #39;m hearing there is a proposed name change for the Eastern Cape. I noticed KwaXhosa on the list and I cannot think of a more repugnant thing.
KwaNtu I quite liked though. It& #39;s far more inclusive. But it would erase the Khoisan collective who aren& #39;t Abantu (in the strict sense) but are intrinsic to the fiber of that land mass.
Abantu in the sense that they are not & #39;Bantu& #39;. Not that they are not people.
I interestingly noticed that Siya Kolisi nguGqwashu, which suggests he is a descendant of the Khoi. So a strict understanding of KwaNtu would not encompass that diversity.
I mean 30% of the language of isiXhosa are words of Khoi origins. Chief Maqoma, the lauded Xhosa warrior; his mother was a Khoi woman.
You can literally see the Khoi in Mandela& #39;s eyes guys and it is such a resistant gene because Mandla and his brothers have it too.
