    Nice work. Last time i was there was in December 2019. It looks beautiful. So i find it strange when politicians in Zambia say "nothing has improved under ECL". this is improvement. I have used the pontoon for years and cannot wait to drive across for a change. Great work ECL and Masisi. Proud of you leaders

      @@MatimbaKanenga Give credit where it is due. By the way, I am not a card carrying member of any political party. So i can speak my mind freely. In this regard, ECL has done well. I always tell UPND supporters, to beat PF and ECL, beat them at their own game but do it better. Use the Constituency Development Fund that is available and improve your constituencies, but do it better than PF and people will give you a chance. The beauty of this strategy is that it is the people that win in the end. The Politician will think he is impressing the electorate but he is actually improving people's lives and giving people a better place to live in. What i am not impressed with is the Bridge at Mass Media (ZNBC). It is a mess.
      The one who built that must refund the money

    I was last at Kazungula in 2004. I was delighted to be back there. I’d been there many times while I worked in Botswana in the mid nineties. Hopefully, the bridge will help boost trade in the wider area. That said, I’ll miss the ferries. The Zambezi river- one of the most beautiful anywhere- will still be as she was. I trust that those living on her shores will share in the benefits accruing from this marvellous architectural feat delivered by the governments of Zambia and Botswana.

    Nice to see progress with the bridge. Here in the UK we have a very different construction methods with suspension bridges, no temporary road way or platform. Hope they will make a nice road on the Zambia side. Hopefully goodbye to queuing.

    • @theKhumbaguy
      @theKhumbaguy  4 роки тому

      It seems queues are a staple of every border crossing. There's always customs and ZRA and all the logistics which have to be done before a truck passes. So it may just be reduced, but not end.
