It means "hello," "good morning," "good afternoon," "good evening."
An ancient, traditional greeting. Regards,

According to the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook (Senge et al.), "Among the
tribes of northern Natal in South Africa, the most common greeting,
equivalent tpo 'hello' in English, is the expression: Sawu bona.

"It literally means 'I see you.' If you are a member of the tribe, you
might reply by saying Sikhona, 'I am here.' The order of the exchange
is important: until you see me, I do not exist. It's as if, when you see
me, you bring me into existence."

It's in those South African potboilers from the guy who wrote Seventh Seal, I think. The hero has a Zulu servant and that's the greeting they use. Good one, thanx.
