Background:
We are the descendants of that Great Ndlhovu who left the KZN (Kwa Zulu Natal) region to better his life.
He ended up in the Ga-khunoana area, near Mafikeng. He was always carrying a handyman pouch which defined his charisma.
As would be expected, there was a language barrier – Tswana/Zulu bridge. Despite the language barrier, his communication prowess earned him a special place within the local Tswana’s.
Firstly, he was recognised as a guest, hence being referred to as “Moeng”.
Because his broken Tswana did in any event deliver messages, he was intepreted as expressing himself in idiomatic expressions – this is how the name “Seane” was born.
