Drink sometimes seemed to rule the war. Hostilities appeared virtually to stop on Friday and Saturday nights by mutual consent when the Terrs had their beer-drinks and the Rhodies were in their clubs respectively. I recall an order that crates of beer were not to be carried under the seats in the rear of MAPs because, although mine blast couldn't penetrate the armour, their concussion could still shatter Shumba and Castle bottles, lacerating everyone in the crew compartment's legs with glass shrapnel, which was a bugger for the medics to find. A senior officer, a notorious alcoholic, once came to my unit to award ten GSMs to the AS. I ran a dry camp due to a couple of deaths in alcohol-related incidents, so I used a drinks cabinet donated by "Coord-a-Nation" to store my maps. I will never forget the look of horror on his face when he threw open the drinks cabinet expecting a dop only to have maps of Mangwende and Uzumba TTLs pour all over his feet. There is a large book of anecdotes waiting to be written on Rhodesia and alcohol.
German Soldier, i drink shumba
Too. And Dream of Rhodesia..😊

Great song! I would love to sing it in a group.
There is an English Group called the WURZELS. They made the original.. I am a cider drinker.... But the Green Boots version is better
Ek se, ek se!
I can't believe this is a non alcoholic drink.
Is it?
@@Xenogrief ''Shumba Maheu is a fermented, maize based traditional non alcoholic beverage''
Bro this song is about drinking Lion beer
@@ALMIGHTY_SIGMAR Then how do you explain how ''Shumba'' isn't related to any type of beer?
@@incumbentvinyl9291 Lion lager, Shumba is lion in one of african languages
When The BOSS Throw A Party. The Scuffers Scarper

Poland support Zimbabwe not Rhodesia, because both are communist
You gotta listen to this song hammered: I’m in a frat and i played this song at the end of our party in the basement at 3am. What a vibe
Nice, cheers my friend. Let the good times roll.
What is shumba?
A lion hunter from a wee bit north of Zimbabwe
Shumba is a lion beer that was popular with the soldiers during the war.
Not a beer as you know it though, it's a maheu.
What's the difference?
@@Strongboy1770 it's fermented and maize based and from what I know non-alcoholic, never had it myself though this is just from what I read.
Lekker!
sounds like Paloma Blanca ngl
It is the tune of Una Paloma Blanca
Прикольная мелодия
Да братан, это тоже хорошая мелодия для выпивки.
@@stanislav7888 круто
Dobra muzyka
What does ''ek se'' means?
Ek se, is Rhodesian slang for, I say.
@@stanislav7888 Thanks.
The saying has Afrikaans roots, I take it?
@@incumbentvinyl9291 Yeah, like most Rhodesian sayings.
George Baker Selection cover. Ofcourse Dutch :-)
Not war related though
