colleen : iJuba is a vile concoction and all the bitterness of the brew is perfectly encapsulated in your piece of writing here, Robin!

Vile & bitter - iJuba as the perfect symbol for apartheid?

Great piece of writing. Very honest and pure no airs and graces. Just the way we South Africans like it.

Really interesting stuff, Robin. I had never heard of iJuba and I’m simultaneously appalled and fascinated. Well written.

@Diva

That was Umthombo Mmela, a bit more sage than iJuba Special…

both come nowhere close to good old “Black” Label, though. (Comical irony, that… Black Label for whites only!)

I actually think I remember it…vaguely! There was also a boxed ‘beer’ that had a drawing of a clay pot and a man on it..? I cannot remember what it was called, but even as children we knew that it was awful stuff and that it was meant ‘for black people’…
Strange the things one remembers when your memory is tweaked a little.

Diva :I do not know this iJuba…Tell more please Robin?

I-Juba Special is a vile concotion. Imagine taking a potful of porridge, mixing it with a cupful of beer and battery acid, and then cooking it up…

It looks like shit, it stinks like shit and it tastes like shit. Please don’t ask me how I know…
