Description

Toc Walsh was once conscripted into intake 138 Depot Rhodesia Regiment on 18 April 1974 and endured a year of what he deemed to be ‘military mayhem’. In July 1976, he was once drafted again with the 10th Battalion Rhodesia Regiment to continue his wild ride into the maniacal world of combat. The country was once in a state of national emergency and all to be had men were referred to as up on continuous service. Mampara is a no-holds-barred take a look at one man’s lived experience of war.

The title of the book stems from the Shona word mampara that may be said to originate from the slurred bark of the male Chacma baboon. The baboon indulges in alcohol-laden fermented fruit in an try to attain courage for difficult endeavors such as courting a female. In many ways, us as humans indulge in the similar practice especially in times of intense stress or hardships. Young men experiencing the serious stresses of combat turn out to be, like the baboon, hungry for a option to cope.
