Mampara: Rhodesia Regiment Moments of Mayhem by Toc Walsh
Toc Walsh was conscripted into intake 138 DepotRhodesia Regiment on 18 April 1974 and endured a year of what he deemed to bemilitary mayhem. In July 1976, he was drafted again with the 10thBattalion Rhodesia Regiment to continue his wild ride into the maniacal worldof combat. The country was in a state of national emergency and allavailable men were called up on continuous service.
Mampara is a no-holds-barredlook at one mans lived experience of war. The title of the book stems fromthe Shona word mampara that is said to originate from theslurred bark of the male Chacma baboon. The baboonindulges in alcohol-laden fermented fruit in an attempt to attain courage fordifficult endeavours such as courting a female. In many ways, us as humansindulge in the same practise especially in times of intense stress orhardships. Young men experiencing the intense stresses of combat become,like the baboon, hungry for a way to cope.
