I don't speak Xhosa or Zulu, but I'd have to hazard a guess (an not even an educated one at that) that umlilo means fire. Got that? Okay, good. :)

I grew up sitting on what we called “Danger Boxes” – which were mini electricity boxes in the street where I stayed that would basically house the Main MAIN switch for each house…each street had one or two of these.
On it used to be a sticker of a skull and crossbones above the words…DANGER, GEVAAR, INGOZI!!!
Hehe, yeah, had one too. In fact, have one of those now also. When we moved in here the box’s padlock was missing so I could take a peek inside. It had about four meters inside, clicking away, counting up the MWH. :)
