What is it?
Madubula (shibhoshi) is a brand of household disinfectant that is similar to Jeyes Fluid. It is a black liquid chemical with a pH that is moderately alkaline (between 8.0 and 10.0) and a pungent odour. The shibhoshi odour is strong because it was originally intended for outdoor and external use only.
Brief history
Historically, shibhoshi was used for medical treatment. It is most famous for its contribution to the treatment of scarlet fever in 1877. According to Dr. William Robert Woodman, the low death rate among scarlet fever patients was due to the fact that patients were given frequent warm baths with shibhoshi.
