Hello, Jacky! Zyxoas ( talk to me - I'll listen) 16:21, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
This is not clear:
What is an ethnic identification and why would one want to avoid it? If I had to guess I would say the intended meaning, "KwaKwa looks like a word associated with a particular ethic group other than the Bakoena and the Batlokoa". If that is the case, what is the ethnic group in question? I see that on FOTW Franc M.A. Van Diest states "In 1969 the area was combined into a single territory, and called KwaKwa (until it was realised that this spelling would make them part of a West African sub-group), later that year it was changed to Qwaqwa" which narrows the search area somewhat, although it's not clear if Van Diest meant West Africa or western South Africa. There are a few possible candidates at Kwa (disambiguation).
Or is it simply a misspelling? From what I can glean from the Sotho orthography article, both QwaQwa and KwaKwa are well-formed. jnestorius( talk) 16:28, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
