See the following web pages for more information: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7734/khanya.htm Khanya BBS specialises in Christian theology, history and genealogy and similar topics, but there are conferences on a wide variety of other topics, including general chat ones, and local ones from the Tshwane/Pretoria area. "Khanya" is a Zulu word that means "shine", and a Sotho word that means "glory". Both meanings feature in the joyful Paschal (Easter) hymn: Shine! Shine! O New Jerusalem! The glory of the Lord has shone on you! Exult now and be glad, O Zion! Be radiant, O pure Theotokos in the Resurrection of your Son!
