This is Kazungula-Sesheke road which is part of the Transvaal trade corridor between Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
The road links Zambia to the oil, diamond-rich Angola on the Western parts of Zambia. It is also the route that tourist can use from Livingstone, Botswana to get to Liuwa plains and the National parks.
It is the link road to Katima Mulilo border post which one of the strategic trade link of the region. This road bad as it may takes you on the beautiful multi-million Sesheke bridge to the Namibian border.
You can see how screwed up our priorities are, right? We need either a federated system of government or some other options so we can keep our money from taxes here to build our own infrastructures. Sending money to Lusaka is not helping anyone.

Pure case of misplaced priorities, and dysfunctional governance. And we are supposed to attract tourists to this area? Forget it! When people don’t vote for the ruling party (now PF), some dull chaps are quick to scream tribalism or regionalism! No, some parts of the country simply haven’t seen any development. That is on top of agriculture policies that have taken away the source of livelihood (farming).
This is sad luli Bo Akashambatwa especially when there is talk by the PF government that they intend constructing a new rail-line between Petauke and one town in Northern Province? I urge the vice president to intervene in this matter!
