Mosi oa Tunya means in Zambia, "the smoke that thunders" and its the rightful name for the falls than the one those white british cheaters and liars gave the river, after their cheating queen Victoria.

For short, Mosi Falls, or Tunya Falls, let get it refered to it all the time.

let's apply that to the "sphinx" which is not the sphinx...in fact its rightful name is Her Em Akhet. the sphinx is a greek mythical creature that is a woman's head and a lion's body...

Is it true that there is something going on in the Victoria falls.

To be specific the language is Rozi or Lozi. Spoken by minorities in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia.

Zambians have been on this wave length for quite some time now. There is the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (Although the town is stilled called David Livingstone). On the Zimbabwean side they call their park Victoria Falls National Park (The town, airport and major road are all called Victoria Falls). Why?

This should have been changed at the very latest, Zimbabwe's independence in 1980.

Robert Mugabe by the way, had a knighthood (later taken away of course) and I wonder if this is one of the reasons why he was passive about removing the Victoria from the name.

Thanks for sharing - I wasn't aware. I'll try and do my bit correcting people.

It took a while, but very few people in Australia call it 'Ayres Rock' anymore - it's Uluru, the Aborigine name. So it can be done if people show support.

Mosi Oa Tunya is on my bucket list to visit :emoji_hugging:

ETA:

Don't know why the hug emoji is so huge - llloool!

I always thought that Mosi oa Tunya was Tonga, didn't know it was actually Lozi... But yes, OP I agree, besides Victoria Falls sounds boring and bland. They should even rename the towns in Zimbabwe and Zambia
