The sjambok (/ˈʃæmbʌk, -bɒk/) or litupa is a heavy leather whip. It is traditionally made from an adult hippopotamus or rhinoceros hide, but is also commonly made out of plastic. A strip of the animal's hide is cut and carved into a strip 0.9 to 1.5 metres (3 to 5 ft) long, tapering from about 25 mm (1 in) thick at the handle to about 10 mm (3⁄8 in) at the tip. This strip is then rolled until reaching a tapered-cylindrical form. The resulting whip is both flexible and durable. A plastic version was made for the apartheid era South African Police, and used for riot control.

  • El chicote (en el Congo, en Sudamérica y en las colonias africanas portuguesas, la palabra que significa látigo en español y portugués) es un látigo anudado. Tradicionalmente hecho de cuero (piel de hipopótamo o rinoceronte seca), también puede ser de plástico. También se usan las palabras sjambok (en Indonesia y Sudáfrica), litupa, mnigolo (hipopótamo en mandinga), imvubu (hipopótamo en zulú), kiboko (hipopótamo en swahili) o fimbo (látigo en lingala). (es)
  • Lo sjambok o litupa è una tradizionale frusta di cuoio del Sudafrica, qualche volta viene visto come sinonimo di apartheid e ora è ancora usato al di fuori dell'ordinamento giudiziario ufficiale. Il nome sembra avere origine come cambuk in Indonesia, dove era il nome di un'asta di legno per punire gli schiavi. (it)
  • Een sjambok (Afrikaans: sambok) is een lange leren zweep die van oorsprong uit Afrika komt. In de Onafhankelijke Congostaat en in Belgisch Congo heette de zweep van nijlpaardenhuid een chicotte. Het was een instrument van koloniale bestraffing en disciplinering. (nl)
  • Chicotte – bat wykonany z wysuszonej skóry hipopotama, wyciętej w długą, ostro zakończoną spiralę, wykorzystywany przede wszystkim w Kongu Belgijskim do karania niewolników. (pl)
  • Шамбо́к (африк. sjambok) — короткий кнут, распространенный в Южной Африке, в основном в ЮАР. Используется в различных целях, как для понукания скота, так и для самообороны. В прошлом применялся белыми поселенцами и как орудие наказания и усмирения чернокожих, поэтому в настоящее время нередко рассматривается как символ колониального угнетения и апартеида. (ru)
  • Die originalen Nilpferdpeitschen, je nach Region auch Sjambok (Südafrika), Chicotte (Kongo) oder Kiboko (Ostafrika) genannt, wurden aus Flusspferd- oder Nashornhaut hergestellt, weil diese sehr strapazierfähig ist. Aufgrund des Artenschutzes und aus Preisgründen wird jedoch mittlerweile oftmals harter, elastischer Kunststoff verwendet. Von Dompteuren wird bevorzugt die elastische Variante mit bis zu 7 Metern Länge verwendet. An der Spitze befindet sich ein kleiner Lederball. Dieser verstärkt die von der Peitsche angewandte Kraft und ist somit besonders für Dickhäuter geeignet. (de)
  • La chicotte ou chicote (mot d'origine portugaise signifiant « natte » ou « extrémité de cordage ») désigne en français un fouet à lanières tressées, traditionnellement en cuir d'hippopotame ou de rhinocéros, qui a d'abord été employé dans le contexte colonial (colonisation de l'Amérique latine) et la traite négrière. Son usage pouvait s'avérer mortel. Le mot chicotte se rapporte également à la « palmatoria » (ou « menino de cincos olhos ») qui était quant à elle une batte faite de bois utilisée par les colons portugais. (fr)

  • Sjambok é uma arma feita de um couro com pouco mais de 50 centímetros e com uma alça numa das extremidades. Equivale ao chicote usado pelos cavaleiros. Havia na Indonésia uma vara de madeira para castigar escravos, chamada por eles de Sambok. Posteriormente, a palavra e o instrumento de tortura emigraram para a Malásia. Quando os escravos maláios foram levados pelos ingleses para a África do Sul, introduziram o Sambok na língua afrikaan, em 1804, com a mesma grafia. A palavra é encontrada no pequeno Dicionário Oxford (inglês-africâner), com a grafia Sjambok. (pt)
