how to make umqomboti part 1 the vlog

Traditional beer, a staple in traditional ceremonies as its is used as a medium of communication, in this vlog join me as a share on one out of two ways I learned how to make tradition beer. Be on the look out for part two and the ever so important Tips and protocols video on making traditional beer. Hit the notification button so you don't miss a thing.
Ingredients:
Water
King Kong - amabele/ Umthombo 4.5kg
White maize meal 10 kg (you may end up using less)
Monati / Umoja 750g
-all the above are based on the quantity we made, this is an art more than a science so we eye balled it really

I did not put any subtittles as the essence of what was being said would have been lost or incorrectly translated however I have tried to put the instruction in as clearly as possible.

Thank you so much. I come from a hardcore Christian family. I had no idea how to make this mqombothi. I followed your instructions everything came out beautiful idid umsebemzi wabadala and it actually drizzled with the sun still very much up. My ancestors were pleased🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@de-sh109]

This is intresting coz we brew the same beer in Namibia, but the process is slightly different

[@FortheNatives]

Oh wow 🤩 I would really like to know how you guys do it
But I’m not surprised considering African history.

[@DJB1PlanetFunksville]

RESPECTS YOUR DISTANT COUSIN HERE IN AMERICA

[@FortheNatives]

[@DJB1PlanetFunksville]

@@FortheNatives well im a black man in america of course i call my peoples in africa my distant cousins

[@FortheNatives]

That’s super sweet and true I do think we are all connected separated by geographic positions 🥰😍

[@DJB1PlanetFunksville]

@@FortheNatives u know whats crazy i have some buddies that live here from ghana and they told me in immigration they were told not to interact with black people here

[@FortheNatives]

What was the reason for this?

[@brendamoosa2636]

Don't we add sugar

[@samkelsiwezikalala3069]

Please uwfanka nini umthombo wombila

[@bontlepatricia2209]

But we have to see when adding unlike explaining so that we don't make mistakes 😢

[@FortheNatives]

Asikisi hleng I will keep this in mind hopefully the next video you get breaks it down from the ting ya mabele stage to the beer- with measurements.
With love

[@tshegofatsokhotseng232]

O don't understand your language and this is how i want to make it.pleeeeeease someone help

[@FortheNatives]

hey Tshegofatso, I'm so sorry i could not offer subtitles for this video, maybe i could offer clarity on specific parts that you did not understand?

[@sydneymathuka4228]

Drink

[@ettangoldberg6107]

she left out something did you know that you would be too young to cook any traditional beer ngesintu utshwalu buhluzwa yizalugazi ezingangeni enyangeli must have gone through menopause this is for cleanliness by the way this is Ndebele tradition

[@nqobiledludla9145]

Is Moja sorghum?

[@FortheNatives]

yes but im not sure with what else. It quickens/ shortens the brewing process. its the equilevent of some people adding cartoons of sqo

[@nomankanyambawasebukhosini7618]

Inkinga anikusho imithombo yani efakwa la mtombo mmela or mbila wiii ayi shame

[@FortheNatives]

when ugogo explains it is that the raw Umthombo is to steep the sorghum which will quicken the fermentation process that will give a sweetness without adding yeast - i hope this helps

[@user-ds4qs8ii6h]

No you do this video o your own you don't know how to teach ididnt see the measurement first sorry for me angi fundanga nex

[@FortheNatives]

Phepi I don’t think I’m at a level of calling myself a teacher yet- however I do acknowledge that you may need better /more direction and understanding of the practice. I will share where I can in the hopes that other people will better where I left off
With love
