The song was traditionally sung by work gangs, and has been recorded by a variety of artists, including Ladysmith Black Mambazo, P.J. Powers and Peter Gabriel, as well as being a standard of most gumboots bands.
Shosholoza is also the name of the South African America's Cup Challenge in 2007.

Meanwhile a jubilant Team Shosholoza were over the moon with their 7th (second last) spot in both the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 3 and the overall 2004 standings - especially as they came in as the new kids on the block and very much the underdogs of the series.
Team Shosholoza, pumped up after scooping two 7ths and two 5ths on the first two days of fleet racing this week, and roaring to take on the strong winds they are so used to from Table Bay in Cape Town, were disappointed at losing a possible chance to better their position on the leaderboard.
Shosholoza went out alone opting for the left hand side of the course which had more breeze and favourable wind shifts which saw her streaking ahead of Emirates Team New Zealand, the French le Defi and Italian +39 Challenge.

South Africa's Team Shosholoza was the first to fall in the first match of the day against Cup Defenders, the Swiss Team Alinghi, when main sail problems prevented her from starting and she was disqualified.
In Shosholoza's second match of the day against Victory Challenge, the South African's had the Swedes tied up in knots at the pre-start and hit the start line at speed a good half a boat length ahead.
Going up the beat a big right hand wind shift paid dividends for Shosholoza who was two boat lengths ahead at the first cross but then things started falling apart for the South Africans as they opted for the left hand side of the course and the Swedes managed to squeeze across to the right.

Shosholoza was the first to tack to starboard which paid off as she overtook K-Challenge midway to the first windward mark to round fourth.
Team Shosholoza simply had no idea of whether they would even be competitive and this was well understood by the large media contingent covering the event who have voted Shosholoza as the “most popular team”, the “crowd favourite,” the team “with heart” and the “golden boys” of the regatta.
Shosholoza stayed ahead of le Defi in the first beat but problems with a genoa breaking lost Shosholoza precious ground as there wasn’t enough time to hoist a new genoa before rounding the weather mark forcing her to sail much of the windward leg bareheaded.

In a tremendous grand finale to the 2005 America's Cup racing season, South Africa's Team Shosholoza kept up the charge to finish fifth overall in the fiercely fought 12-boat Trapani Louis Vuitton Act 9 which ended off southern Sicily Sunday.
This final race was dominated by a fierce match within a match between BMW Oracle and Cup Defenders Alinghi as BMW needed to put another boat between them to win the event.
Meanwhile BMW's huge efforts put her on equal points overall with the mighty Alinghi but not enough to dislodge her on the tie break and Alinghi was declared the overall winner of Act 9.
