Shosholoza - South African miner's song

With its origins going back to the gold mines of South Africa, Shosholoza holds a firm place in the cultural consciousness.
The song is believed to have been originally composed by workers from Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe while traveling by steam trains to and from the mines. This certainly explains how the railway theme finds its place in the song in the form of an onomatopoeia, in this case the word 'shosholoza' which imitates the sound of a working steam train, though the word can also can be understood as 'go forward'.
