Hi Everyone
Took me a long time to get the correct name for my Lorrie
" Nomakanjani " it is Zulu and means " Come what may " oftewel " Kom wat wil "
- Nomakanjani conquers a steep obstacle

Been thinking on a name for my Patrol as well, but it seems to be waste because try as I might, calling, whistling, making funny noises, the car never ever comes when I call!!!!!!
So I went on a track with Oom Mac, and he
started calling my Patrol "Sneeuwitjie" (Snow White) because she is white and always clean. I'm thinking no Patrol should not be called Sneeuwitjie, it is insulting.
I will follow your lead soon by naming my Patrol.
Shalom Jules

Stunning naam Jules - dis darem een ding van die Zulu taal, hy kom so mooi op die oor aan
Zakki - SneeWuitjie is so 'n kjoet naampie - en jy troetel jou karrikjie so mooi
toemaar, ruil net die neppi
-
Wat van SWAHILI vertalings [oral in Afrika herken]
buffel = nyati,
renoster = vifaru,
olifant = tembo
vlakvark = ngiri
sterk een = kwa nguvu, [OF -
net "Nguvu" wat dan "kragtig" beteken
Kwa Nguvu - die STERK EEN .... ek laaik, beter as SneeWitjie ..

Oom Mac sonder om Jules se Post te steel en oor te neem.
Ek het besluit om die Patrol NGENKHOMO te doop. Dit beteken "om jou pad deur iets te forseer". Was my naam in die weermag onder die troepe.
Decided to name the Patrol Ngenkhomo. Means to force your way through someting / or forward.

Hi Jules,
Great Name. Every time I see a GQ Patrol I see a buffalo - No very pretty, not very fast, but be carefull, you will be supprised. Almal het al die INYATHI name gebruik, dus is myne

Great names, Izak waar was jy innie forces dat jy die arme manne so gestoomroller het?
Grant have the Dept of Internal Home Affairs not yet given you an anti -apartheids fine, well I guess it is also softer on the ear than Kaffernbuffel.
I agree the GQ has timeless bodylines and a brutal square frontal approach, TRUE AFRICAN BUFFALO
Shalom
