- It's a long way to Mukumbura, is Rhodesian patriotic song set to the melody of the WW1 British song, It's a long way to Tipperary. However the Rhodesian's gave the song a Rock and roll facelift. And added some of their own uniquely Rhodesian style to it. This version was written and performed by Mike Wescott and Leprechaun. If you enjoy the video please like and susbscribe it really helps the channel, and It's good to know that my work is appreciated.

Am African black. If it's 1970 and Ian Smith gives his speech I would volunteer, Rhodesia will never die
@@TheCrapOnYourStrapOn Rhodesia was an idea, a dream and ideas don't die they re-emerge better refined. Let's hope. Let's keep the flame of discipline, knowledge and pragmatism a light.
@@TheCrapOnYourStrapOn let's do it
Black people lived better under the Rhodesian government than they do Now etc
My Platoon SGT came from Malawi...he actually came to Rhodesia to join the RHSF. He died March 79 in an ambush. His Puma was hit by a RPG 7.....SGT Bwanakocha, 6 Infantry Coy, (Ministry of Internal Affairs, Intaf) Mtoko
@@LexlutherVII To be fair, that's not a high bar. Most people live better in the Congo than Zimbabwe
Im from Corsica, Hearing this makes me wish that i was Rhodesians, Long Live Rhodesia
Long Live Ian Smith
Rhodesia Never Dies!
My grandad fought in the bush war, he was in the rhodesian light infantry. Huge respect.

@@lan_daddyttv4710 Rhodesia was a blooming state, the best in Africa, now look at Zimbabwe begging for eu aid
There were many high ranking black Africans in the Rhodesian Arm Forces. Rhodesia was not a racist country. I love Rhodesia.
I was in mukumbura in July 1977
Proud to say a great friend of mine was in The Rhodesian Army,eventually made it to the States.We worked together for years,now enjoying his retirement.He deserves it,top man
Rekt
These guys were legendary and still are
These guys got rekt and the remaining should’ve been deported
2:11 The Rhodesian LDP, sometimes called the Rhuzi. I wouldn't call it a copy of a Uzi, but it does use Uzi magazines. Not many people can say that they have fired one, but I can.
du är väl svensk?
@@chapno4255 Ja. Hur visste du?
is it as awful as the Uzi, or worse?

The war was over before I was eighteen, or I'd have been out there with my mukkas!
I like how there's ACTUAL Rhodesians commenting on these videos! Idk I just think that there's mostly people from outside the country that's commenting for some reason.
Mike Westcott taught us history at Northlea, very good teacher
Long live to Rhodesia from Italy!
Weather we derive from former portugeese afrika or rhodesia or suidafrika lets be real we fought together the best we could sa suplyd non stop troops rhodesia lacked there were parabats on top there same for french legion parachute de belge we were a.wild navo colonist force and we kicked ass i have a uncle who died for youre rhodesie..

Now the winds of change hit the old continent ( europ )
My grandfather served in the British South Africa Police. My other folks were police reservists. This country produced some of the greatest souls who ever lived. To this day, we have the most spectacular wildlife, stunning natural beauty and kind, generous people. Bloody proud of this, my country.
This song brings back memories of my time in the SAS ❤😅
Best combat shorts ever.
I fucking love the cold war songs
Seeing this videos just think our boys at Angola, Moçambique and Guiné. I'm portuguese. Respect
Virgin Mugabe vs Chad Smith
A beautiful energy radiates from these lyrics, much respect
Nice! Some shots i've never seen. Would love to see your take on Gunship Calypso, Daisy or Ratpack Boogie
This is a great tune. Not sure how I'd never heard it before! Good footage too, thanks for the upload. o7
What amazing memories.
What a coincidence eh? Nice edit
Great song. Finally reading Ian Smith's memoir "Bitter Harvest".
Would you be okay sharing the pdf with me please? I
was it used and stupid expensive?
@@frogfinance4605 I am in no capacity to spend any money so I figured that I could ask Mr. bryden for it
@@frogfinance4605 It's like 8 bucks for a digital copy, otherwise yeah stupid expensive.
@@frogfinance4605 Always is.
The only country I would give my life for!
for my comrades from the 2nd REG!!!
As an American, I love me some Rhodies.
Rhodies were illegal aliens
Großartiger Sound. Es war die goldene Zeit.
Крутая песня
спасибо, братан, это родезийская классика.
@@stanislav7888 да, каждая война отличается
Good old times 😢
Why do I wish rhodesia survived? I wasn’t even alive back then.
I don't understand most of it, but it rocks

Rhodesian punk song? Nice!
This is the WWI soldiers' song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" punked up with Rhodesian lyrics.
If only I was 19 in the 70s

Sorry for making you read that, couldnt change language.
Nema se čemu brate. I can read some Cyrillic just not very well.
I don't speak russian, I can just read the alphabet and it's quite funny to read english in cyrillic
@@antoiner.5770 I think this is Serbian Cyrillic, or perhaps North Macedonian Cyrillic. I say that because it is the most phonetically consistent and I see a 'j' which is unique to those versions. This type of cyrillic is so phonetic you can actually express English reasonably well once you know which sound each letter makes. My Serbian friend and I used to use this 'English Cyrillic' to communicate as a joke, took me less than a day to understand the alphabet, ofc once they start using actual words in their language my pronunciation plummets.
Until now I never experienced it unexpectedly, I always try to read Cyrillic, by third word I went from "That seems an odd way to start a Serbian sentence" to "Holy crap that's English!".
@@Josh23761 oh yes I didn't saw the "j"
Actually a good song 👏
😢
Right arm of the free world
Its "And the trout is biting there." not the crowd is fighting there :)
Most & all iterations of It's a Long way to Mukumbura has the lyrics "And the crowd is fighting there" and my father, a Rhodesian himself, recalls it saying that aswell.
I hope the 2 waring parties could come together and reconcile for the benefit of the people of Zimbabwe
Pamwe Chete💪
I had no idea that country even existed, and so recently too. Still have no idea what type of country it even was or how it even fell so it would be nice if someone could enlighten me
It was the best country in Africa. Blacks had the highest standard of living in all of Africa. It turned into zimbabwe. Which is a failed state now and the poorest in Africa. The communist robert mugabe took over and destroyed the country.

Чем то напоминает Вьетнам
Это была очень похожая война. Однако в некоторых отношениях они очень разные.
Another version of this song it a long way to to tip a fairy❤❤😂😅😅😅
Never made it to Mukumbura....just Mary Mount near Rushinga
Still you did try
@@MIMALECKIPLfrom Mary Mount to Mukumbura around 130 km to the North...or 7 hrs drive (with a Pookie in front) or a couple of days with a Landminepatrol in front...with other words...at least one crate of Castle/Lion per head
What's a Mukka?
It's a Rhodesian slang term for friend.
@@stanislav7888 thank you
I never knew that there's Rhodesian music to begin with, wow.
What is tot siens, et ce and Lekker?
@@kennydalglish8072 Lekker is slang for good or great and Ek se is just a nonsense word to add as filler to end a sentence with from what I understand. While Tot siens is just another way of saying goodbye, or until we meet again.
You have a tank on your beginning pic. Tanks were VERY uncommon. The Rhodesians had a few for training and they didn’t even take Infantry antitank weapons with them most of the time.
круто!!!! боевая песня...все таки очень жаль что они проиграли ту войну обезьянам..
It’s like fairytale. It’s not Ukraine.
Commies had win
Glory and honor to free Zimbabwe!!!
Rhodesia from britian*
Zimbabwe doesn't belong to White Anglosaxons, belongs to Black Zimbabweans!!!
Read history, Rhodesia belonged to everyone until communism came
A sad end to a grand adventure. Rhodesians never die!!!!
shit i forgot my lighter
