South African backing band for Condry Ziqubu. In 1984 with his group Lumumba, named after the great Patrice Lumumba of Congo, Condry Ziqubu released his biggest hit ever "Skorokoro", which also gave him the name "Mr Skorokoro". The song was inspired by old battered township cars. Another hit with the group was "Yellow Mieliemeal", inspired by the introduction of yellow mealiemeal by the government after a long drought that made it difficult to get the normal white maize meal.
