KAANG

In the mythology of the Bushpeople of Botswana, Kaang (Cagn, Kho, Thora) created the world and everything in it. At first he lived in harmony with human beings, his sons Cogaz and Gewi marrying mortal wives and one of his daughters married a human chief. He spent his time fighting Gauna, lord of death. At one time he was killed by Gauna's creatures the thorns, but he reassembled his skeleton and lived again. However, as human beings forgot his importance he decided to leave the Earth and went to live in the Sky as a disembodied spirit, taking with him the secret of immortality and leaving humans to be preyed upon by Gauna.
