af means first, referring to the first humans on the planet. The first of whom was Mother Tang followed shortly by Father Tang. Both emerged through a permutation process out of Pure Energy Waves about one million years ago on the banks of Lake Tanganyika (modern day Tanzania).

RA means Sun as afRAkans are the people of the Sun. The Sun is acknowledged as a life sustaining source of energy.
