Masimba Musodza, I take your point about the place names, you are right, how we spell on the internet is not as important as clarity. If you had started talking about "Dzimba dzamahwe" instead of Zimbabwe, I for one would not have known what you meant.

However, I still maintain the validity of the point I was making; which is that 'ophir' is such a big deal to you because it represents a presence in the holey bible. It is a point of view that I recognise because, growing up (and even still, now) I saw it in some of my own people. These were people, who also claimed to be descendants of the 'lost tribes of Israel'. The Ibo, we were told, were the 'jews of Africa'. It all came from from a wish to be in a position where one could point at the holey bible and say "look, we are in there; we are not monkeys."

To me, this yearning shows a lack TRUE pride. It is evidence that the inferiority germ is deep in your soul and you would be advised to find a cure.

If you had REAL self-knowledge, then you would know the proper attitude to take against the semites. You would not be the cultural equivalent of those flies that live off the ticks on cattle - i.e. a dependant of parasites.

Was there ever a country/kingdom called 'ophir' in Africa or, was it called Zimbabwe/Dzimba dzamahwe? Were there ever a people called 'jew' in Africa?

I asked before you about 'jews' and you came back talking on 'hebrews'. This word has a different etymology, 'hebrew' to my overstanding is derived from the word 'habiru' and, 'habiru' is a word whose meaning can be found in the languages of Kemet. 'jew' is a different matter and I think you know this and that is why you shifted. But, you cannot avoid this; you are self-identified as a property of the 'judeo-christian' klan. Defend your position.

So, let me rephrase the question and, I hope you answer this : where in the holey bible were the people of Israel first referred to as 'jews'? Answer that question, and then think 'why'?
