The Angus Shaw

Mutoko Madness Description

Born in Rhodesia, raised on rebellion and rock ’n roll — Angus Shaw came of age as his country tore itself apart. Drafted into a brutal bush war, he and his friends — the “Mutoko boys” — faced madness, death, and disillusionment in a land slipping into chaos.

From the smoky bars and marijuana fields of rural Rhodesia to the front lines of Africa’s bloodiest conflicts, Shaw lived and reported it all — Idi Amin’s Uganda, Somalia’s warlords, Liberia’s anarchy, and Rwanda’s unspeakable genocide.

In the crossfire of propaganda and gunfire, Shaw risked everything — sanity, safety, even friendship — to tell the truth that dictators wanted buried with the dead.

Through decades of upheaval, he chronicled Africa’s beauty and brutality with unflinching honesty — a Rhodesian soldier turned war correspondent who witnessed history’s darkest corners and somehow survived to tell the tale.

Rhodesia. War. Drugs. Dictators. Redemption. This is a journey into the madness that shaped a continent — and the man who wouldn’t look away.

Listen to it now — and discover the untold story of a Rhodesian who saw too much and told it anyway.
