Nhe Makandala, Makandal or Mac Ndal is this great man, this great hero whose name should be known to all the kamites of the earth as a true symbol of the struggle, of certain mental and physical liberation. Ne Makandala is also the central hero of the human liberation struggle in Haiti.
However my surprise is very big and bitter because I see that this great hero of immeasurable renown is not at all known to the Bantu and especially in Kama.
Children in Katiopa (Africa) undertake long years of schooling and intellectual culture but without the breath of a single word of history of what was this great man and hero Kamtiou and Haitian. It is truly unfair, insulting and culpable that the brilliantly designed school curricula in Katiopa (Africa) which boom in teaching children who was Charlemagne, Visigoths, Persians, Mesopotamia, Moses, Jesus, Christopher Columbus, Diego Cao, Cicel Rodhe, Léopold 2 etc. But do not keep a single word about this great revolutionary and spiritual leader who was Ne MAKANDALA.
In the village of our ancestors, this glorified great ancestor must be smoking with anger.
This article, I dedicate it to the memory of the work accomplished by this great ancestor glorifies and who claims the recognition, I sing the memory, the glory and the praise of Ne MAKANDAL the great unifier and fighter with the methods proper to a Katiopa who wants to wrest his freedom at any cost. Because according to Bantu traditions we recognize someone by name, it is important to always start with the; do a study on the intrinsic value and meaning of the name of the person we want to know and understand. In Kongo thought, sounds have a very determining importance in the articulation of a language, and language is formed by the sum and the combination of several sounds.
The word “Ne” which I use as a prefix to the name Makandal is a mark of respect and deep consideration only. It means the self which is in the other, the greatness of the self the “N” the divine which is the other. While Makandala means to him the one who reunites families by his light, his knowledge. This can be understood as follows:
- Ma = the plural form, example: lisolo = singular and Masolo = plural; likaku = singular and plural = Makaku, libota = singular and mabota = plural.
