Afrikaner vordering sedert 1994.

[Oom Henry]

Tshwane is n legende soos Klaas Vakie en Klein Duimpie. Dit is n poging om eienaarskap van die Pretoria omgewing aan die Tswana stamme te bewys. Lieg en steel was nog altyd hulle sterk punt...

Ek stem saam. Tshwane is a figment of their imagination. Hoe sê mens dit in Afrikaans? My soeke dat sy geskiedenis lewer niks konkreets op nie. 'n H!#%@$%%p skryf die volgende op Litnet nogal:

The Chief Tshwane bungle
Any black historian worth his salt should be ashamed to have allowed the story of Chief Tshwane to be blown out of proportion without investigating it with a view of putting the record straight. Millions of people are said to be in doubt of the existence of a chief called Tshwane. The doubt was voiced by Sowetan readers soon after a R1 million statue of Chief Tshwane was recently erected in a public square in Tshwane Pretoria:

First Mayor Gwen Ramokgopa missed its unveiling because she was watching soccer at the World Cup finals in Berlin. The residents scratching their heads, ask themselves who this man, Chief Tshwane is? Boingotlo Seema said: I had never heard about this man until I saw him in the newspaper and on television. Another resident, Teboho Nkosi, said if the chief discovered Tswane then he must have been the person who sold it to whites. Angelic Sanna could not believe that the Tshwane metro council can so easily impose a person on the citizens without consultation. – Sowetan (2006:9)


Who is Chief Tshwane, who are his followers? Where exactly did he reside in the Pretoria area? Why is it that he comes out from obscurity only now? Perhaps the most poignant question to be asked is: Why did historians allowed the Tshwane debacle to come to this point without doing some research? Scholarly investigation would have prevented the whole issue from turning into a circus. For instance, some reports in the media claim that Tshwane was a Ndebele chief, while others say that Tshwane is not a name of a person, let alone a chief, but simply a Setswana word for “we are the same”. Others maintain that the word refers to “little ape” in Setswana, obviously a corruption of tshwene because of the river Apies which flow through the city.

Kan mens die raad aanvat op grond van die gebrek aan inligting oor die bl!ks3m? Dit lyk my ek bly nou in Apie LMGA.

Ek dink ons moet hierdie boodskap die wêreld instuur. The Capital city of South Africa is Tshwane,  English - Monkey.

Now all the slogans iro 2010 has a rather comical ring to it: Monkey 2010.

Does this perhaps refer to the a$$h0l3s running the city or to those running the country? You decide.

Welcome to the Banana Republic.

In 2010 we're gonna go ape in Monkey!

Don't miss the soccer circus.

Tshwane was 'n beeswagter wat teen 'n boom ge-urineer waar Pretoria nou is het toe hy daar verby getrek het. Hy was seker opvlug vir die Zulus.
