Kugadzirirwa pamba kuchiri kuitwa zvakanyanya, asi chinwiwa chave kuwanikwawo muzvitoro zvakawanda, chiri kugadzirwa kumafekitari. Kuravira kwawo kunobva zvakanyanya kulactic acid inogadzirwa panguva yekuvirisa, asi mahewu ekutengesa anowanzo kunhuhwirira uye kutapira zvakanyanya munzira yekutengeserana inowanikwa muyogati . Zvinwiwa zvakafanana neizvi zvinogadzirwawo mune mamwe mativi eAfrica.

 Chirongwa chembiriso 
Hupfu hwakatetepa (zvikuru hupfu hwechibage) hunogadzirwa, hunosanganiswa nehupfu hwegorosi, zvichipa inoculum yebhakitiriya inogadzira lactate. Musanganiswa unosiiwa kuti uvirise, kazhinji munzvimbo inodziya. Pasteurisation inoitwa mumabasa ekutengesa kuwedzera hupenyu hwepasherufu .

 Kuvaka muviri 
Mukudya kunovaka muviri, mahewu akafanana neupfu hunomagadzira, pozowedzerwa tsvigiri kuti iite lactate panguva yekuvirisa. Gadziriro dzekutengeserana dzinowanzo pfumiswa (MuSouth Africa, izwi rekuti 'fortification' rinotenderwa chete zviri pamutemo kune zvirongwa zvinovaka muviri zvakatemerwa nehurumende, semuenzaniso wechingwa) ne mavhitamini nemamineral . Kunyange zvazvo achiwanzoonekwa seasingadhake, tushoma (tusingasviki 1%) ethanol tunowanikwa mumahewu.
