Like many people across the globe, Africans have for many generations been awed by the night skies . Using their natural astronomical instrument, the eye, they have observed, commented on, and named celestial objects of interest to them. In anticipation of the inauguration of Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), and the very faint and distant objects it will observe, this paper revisits astronomical nomenclature of the Setswana language of Southern Africa (SA), focusing on the two brightest and nearest astronomical bodies from Earth after the Sun, the Moon and Venus.
