Etymology of AMAKEBE

The term "amakebe" does not have a well-established etymology, as it appears to be a very specific and localized word. However, based on the available context, "amakebe" seems to be a South African township slang term that originated from Zulu or another Nguni language.

In Zulu, the word "amakhambi" refers to the edges or borders of something, and it is possible that "amakebe" is derived from it. However, it is important to note that this is a speculative suggestion and further research would be required to confirm its accuracy.
