Boereworsdone the African way

Our Heritage

A Global Meat Business, Rooted In Zimbabwe

Shumba Meats was founded by Tinara Shumba, a trained butcher from Zimbabwe who moved to Edinburgh in 2004 and saw no one bringing authentic Southern African meat to Scotland. So he started doing it himself — the same recipes, the same spice blends, the same standards he learned back home.

What began as boerewors and biltong for the local African community has grown into something bigger: a butcher sourcing globally to bring real, hard-to-find meat — from traditional farm cuts to rare imports — to customers across the US and UK.
