I don't want to just jump right in and upset anyone but this should really be the redirect from mtama. See link from google translate here for verification http://translate.google.com/#en/sw/sorghum . Mabele is my wife's maiden name. She's a native English and Swahili speaker and Mabele is just a surname it doesn't have an English translation. If no one objects on this talk page by evening on 04/15 I'm going to remove the redirect. Thanks Jjbobotx (talk) 00:14, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that's true in Swahili, but in South Africa "mabele" (from Northern Sotho) is often used to mean sorghum, as here. So I think you should leave it as it is. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 22:00, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
