thanks for the list; but why should one give kids (young goats)names to their children?
What does semkeliso mean
Semkheliso or Samukeliso means the same thing. We receive or we have received a gift. In other words it means we are grateful for what we have been given!
Also some some anonymous above asked why children are given goats names. Lol that is funny. Lets just call them babies or children because kids are for goats. Thats a good one!
