Category talk:Amazwe e-Afrika

Category name

Which is the correct spelling of this category's name: Amazwe eAfrika vs. Amazwe e-Afrika? -- Deborahjay (talk) 14:54, 20 uZibandlela 2017 (UTC)

Hi Deborahjay , the correct spelling here would be e-Afrika, this is because vowels do not follow each other when writting in isiZulu. If the word you are writting will have vowels following each other, you will have to put a dash in between them. Njabulo19 (talk) 08:09, 21 uZibandlela 2017 (UTC)

Thank you - I see that rule with other category names, and I want to keep the language correct for the benefit of all future users. As this is a large category, I'll need a good block of time to make the name change. We'll have more similar queries soon. -- Deborahjay (talk) 21:01, 21 uZibandlela 2017 (UTC)

Name of Category:Aba-Afrika baseNingizimu

The same applies to the category Category:AbAfrika baseningizimu it will be correct to write it like Category:Aba-Afrika baseNingizimuNjabulo19 (talk) 08:09, 21 uZibandlela 2017 (UTC)

@Njabulo19: My question: what does this name actually mean? Because it's so different from the word order of the numerous other Categories for "People of PLACENAME" e.g. Category:Abantu baseNingizimu Khoriya. -- Thanks from Deborahjay (talk) 21:05, 21 uZibandlela 2017 (UTC)

Further: this category was created five years ago by a non-native speaker, with all due respects. If I understand correctly, "AbAfrika baseningizimu" means something like "African people of the south" - would "Abantu baseNinigzimu Afrika" be the correct name for the category? I await the reply. -- Deborahjay (talk) 17:21, 22 uZibandlela 2017 (UTC)

The category Aba-Afrika baseNingizimu which means Africans of the South, with it I think the person who created it based the name on a documentary series which was broadcast around 2012 or 2013 in South Africa. The title of the documentary was "People of the South", it was about the lives of prominent people of Southern Africa including politicians, musicians and many more.

As for the category Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika I think it can be a new category which includes only people of South Africa. I will be waiting for your reply. Thank you Njabulo19 (talk) 11:27, 23 uZibandlela 2017 (UTC)
