Cheers Frank,
That's the one I've known and loved for years, but I noticed two authors have used kwaSogekle in more recent works.
I'll stick with what I know.
Thanks,
John

John, I came across that spelling last year and was asked to look at it for a forum members new book. I couldn't find any basis for it at all. Some time ago, around 2 years I think there was a similar alternate spelling of iSandlwana, that was traced back to a spell check fabrication. These things manage to get passed on.
Cheers
