Experience the rich tradition of brewing Umqombothi, a delicious African beer made from maize, sorghum, and finger millet. While some call it Isigodokhaya (a term some find disrespectful), Umqombothi brings people together in Zimbabwean culture.

Join us on a journey to Esigodini, Zimbabwe, where a master brewer from Zhilo shares the secrets behind this flavorful beverage. We'll learn the four key ingredients used in Ndebele culture to prepare "Utshwala," a name synonymous with Umqombothi's past availability.

This short clip will have you wanting to raise a glass (or calabash!) of Umqombothi with friends and family.
