Shosholoza
Just for interest sake, Shosholoza, is a Zulu word. Zulu is the language spoken by a local tribe called the Zulu?s. There is also a Zulu folk song called Shosholoza. The song was traditionally sung by all-male work gangs in a call and response style type song. Shosholoza, basically means ?go forward or make way for the next man, and is also reminiscent of the sound made by the steam train (stimela).
