HOW ZIMBABWE GOT CURVED ON KAZUNGULA BRIDGE.

The bridge takes advantage of the short 150-meter border between Zambia & Botswana share at the river Zambezi, and is curved to avoid the nearby borders of Zimbabwe and Namibia.

Here is a timeline giving an insight into how Zimbabwe was left out of the project:

2001: Botswana and Zambia discuss building a bridge over the Zambezi at Kasane. They want to replace the ferry system, which is slow. A study by Japan’s Nippon Koei and Oriental Consultant estimates revenues of between US$360 million and US$605 million over 30 years.

2007: Botswana and Zambia discuss cooperation with Zimbabwe on conducting a joint assessment of the project. Zimbabwe, however, does not participate, despite the initial design of the bridge showing a small part would pass over its territory. At this time, Robert Mugabe is sulking because Zambia’s Levy Mwanawasa has called Zimbabwe a “sinking Titanic”. Mwanawasa is subject to biting criticism in the Zimbabwean state media.

2008: Zimbabwe resists holding a joint assessment, opting to go it alone. At this time, Zimbabwe is having a bitter political row with both Zambia and Botswana. Ian Khama of Botswana and Mwanawasa have sharply criticised the violent election in Zimbabwe, and Mugabe is not on talking terms with the two neighbours.

2012: Zambia and Botswana invite bids for the Kazungula bridge.

2014: Botswana and Zambia sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the project. Construction starts at the site, just 65km upstream of Victoria Falls.

April 2021: With the bridge now completed, Botswana and Zambia, without Zimbabwe, conclude a bilateral agreement on the running of the facility.

What Sampa The Great has said

02/01/2024

KAZUNGULA BORDER | ZAMBIA-BOTSWANA WITH 157 METERS IS THE WORLDS 2ND SHORTEST BORDER

This almost-quadripoint on the Zambezi River is intercepted by a tiny section of Botswana-Zambia border. Historically a busy crossing point, the border section was first defined in 2010 as preparations for a $260M bridge connecting Botswana and Zambia.

Up until recently, the only way of crossing the 157-meter-long border between Zambia and Botswana was by a ferry service. In 2021, the two countries replaced the ferry with the brand new Kazungula Bridge, straddling the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe rivers. Named after the pair of border towns which share the same name, the Kazungula Bridge was purposely curved, so it wouldn’t encroach on either Namibian or Zimbabwean territories, passing directly through the world’s second shortest border.

POLIGAMY IN BEMBA CULTURE

In the picture is Senior Chief Chungu of the Bemba people of Luwingu with his wives. The picture was taken in 1911. This picture confirms that polygamy was once a very part of the bemba culture. In this picture the chief is with his wives or royal wives (called abasano) amongst them is his senior wife (known as mukolo). In the bemba culture at the time a man could marry again, after about five years with the approval of his senior wife if he proved to be a good husband and he would get another woman or second wife called impokeleshi usually a close relative to the wife.

With the coming of Christianity many were converted to the new doctrine of Jesus Christ which preached one man, one wife and did away with the old practice of polygamy and it became the new order to date.

Creepy crawly phobias 😂

The answer was plain and simple, Noooooooo nakana, i do not care. People have phobias and for Dingatse Esther Spora Musadabwe it is clearly creepy crawlies 😂😃🤭 #Phobias #AroundZambia from #A2Z

What is a confluence ??? Luangwa ~ Zambezi

WHAT IS A CONFLUENCE ???? 🤔 Before you watch the video, leave the answer in the comment section and give examples of ones you know. The confluence in the video though is awesome, it connects not two but three countries all at one point. And in 1835, on 19th November, Mpezeni and his Ngoni people who at the time were fleeing King Shaka Zulu’s “Mfekane”, used this area as a crossing point. The Solar Eclipse happened that day, and Zambia was never same. 🙌🏾 #Trivia #History #AroundZambia from #A2Z

You cannot get enough of the same place when it comes to nature! One place will be different from season to season. #Waterfalls #A2Z #AroundZambia

Growing up in Zambia, this ka song would slap 👋🏾 when you and your squad won at something 😂

Mysterious Stone of Death

THE STONE OF DEATH & ITS MYSTERY Yesterday (18.11.22) we shared a short video about a stone that comes with stories of ”mystery and death”. We decided to further this conversation with one of the locals and get their side of this unbelievable story. The revelations from her are crazy and mind blowing to say the least. Special thank yous go to Obert Siyadombozya & Otis Mumba for being our translators and language gap coverers. PS: this stone is around the same location/Area as the famous NG’OMBE ILEDE. 📍Chipepo village, Chirundu - Southern Province

Would you believe there is such beauty right in Lusaka Province? This is Kasisi Falls in Rufunsa district right around the infamous “Manenekela Landscapes”. It would take you approximately 2 to 3hrs to get there from Lusaka and you won’t need an off road motor. ASK US HOW . . . . #AroundZambia #A2Z #kasisifalls #rufunsa #manenekela #lusaka #waterfalls
