      As an Australian, the first sight of that smoke and I immediately thought "Bushfire" . Then going down the side of the falls on the Zambian side blew my mind. Feeling the soaking ' thunder' throbbing through the soul so loud it blocks out everything but sheer exhilaration. From the Zimbabwe side looking down at the falls with the circular rainbows and majesty that is Africa. And further up the Batoka Gorge perched high above the mighty Zambezi, the stuff of legend.
      I feel so privileged to have been to this incredible part of our amazing world.

    In the southern African minority rule era, the ferry was the only overland way to travel from Black to White Africa. I used it to cross from Zambia to Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) via Botswana in 1977. Experiences during my month in the country as the war of independence accelerated moved me so much that a year later I returned from Canada to live through the transition 1978-80 as a journalist. The little spot in the Zambezi river remains close to my heart.

    Nice video, though like you said in it--it's not actually a quadripoint technically--and that technicality is big because it is what allowed the bridge to be built in the first place, as it curves in the river to only cross one border line between two countries.

    • @royeb63
      @royeb63 3 года назад +1

      I have been looking at that point on the map many times, and been frustrated by the few hundred meters missing from making it a true quad-point.
      I was hoping that with the new bridge, the 4 countries would get together and make minor adjustments to their borders, so that they would get the point in the middle of the bridge.
      Would have made it a truly unique place on earth. :O)
      But it isn't too late, so Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia, you know what you have to do. ;O)

      You are from South Africa, as a Ndebele, although in Zimbabwe your hometown is the far away Bulawayo. To you it may be a simple issue, to Zambians, especially us Tonga, who consider ourselves owner of that part of the river and the falls, this name is offensive. However it is not easy to resolve because the English complicated their crime by dividing the falls, and us, between to artificial countries, they concocted in Germany, for their own selfish commercial interests. If and the falls were in one country, we would have discarded the names Livingstone, Victoria Falls and any other white name in our area. Unfortunately, we have to involve governments of people who are removed from the scene...

      @@tiaelago-oretukaumunika7017 Half of that strip is part of Kavango east region. The strip starts at Divundu. On map its confusing coz it looks as if whole strip is Caprivi No. The actual Caprivi strip just start about 110km after Divundu. Meaning from Kavango east border to Katima mulilo its 190km. What's is interesting is that CAPRIVI AS AN ISLAND WAS NOT BRITISH 1ST. It was a difficult tiny place for the British. So they didn't actually have control over it Until Germany laid a claim then they jumped saying they have possession of the territory though it wasn't. Even border between Namibia and Angola was done late between the Portuguese and Germans. Infact about +100km inside Angola belonged to Namibia before. Caprivi strip was no man's land before the Germans laid claim to it. It was not reachable as it was wholly enclosed by rivers from any direction. Many descendants of the Caprivi are Sotho speaking people from Orange free state in SA. They descendants of chief Sebetwane of the Bafokeng Royal tribe who with his tribesmen migrated northwards accross Botswana in search of his land and settled near Cuando river south west of Katima Mulilo. He ruled the place with an iron fist. As a result Lozi became the lingua franca. Lozi is Sotho. Some tribes in Caprivi came from Angola like mafwe and Mbukushu in Western Caprivi and Kavango east.

    Great video factually balanced with regards to history. I also love that beat/sound at the end of the video. How I can find the longer original version of it? Thanks.

    Great and interesting information. As a Zambian Geographer I can't wait to see Pan-africanism at work so that some Colonial borders can be amicably redone especially the insane Capriv and the Pedicle between Zambia and DRC. It is so painful passing through the pedicle road as Zambians and being troubled at borders by Congolese. DRC should give that piece to Zambia, it will bring sanity and beautiful map of Zambia will be easy to draw.🙏😅

      @ Christine, I agree, but the DRC , which is obviously an eyesore on the map, as you can't say its a country per se. The borders are still fictional , why shouldn't Katanga be independent? The irony is that the the africans themselves kept those in hoping it could bring peace. Weeelll ! Didn't work out nicely did it? All the wars, and new ones . popping up , so pan- africanism is a fancy dream. An Ethiopian has absolutely nothing in common with a Namibian. Except both are black. Now that smacks of racism really. As for the Falls, they would be useful if you could send the " presidents " dictators really down them. I lived a year in Zambia, coming and then a months in
      Rhodesia, both countries very rich, but rude. How happy was I to return to the the Land of the Lake ! Until I left for Europe. Poor, but polite respectful, warm people. I'm quite sure that Zambia has very good journalists and they, will do a good job if not corrupted. Glad it was the Japanese that build that bridge, they're used to earthquakes so you can trust them eyes shut. As a geographer, you know that over population is a problem and women's rights have to be enshrined

      @Massambula2 mass I think that you are more than misinformed. Yes indeed that colonisation was bad , and Europe did make loads of money out of that. But, since you speak English, tell me why Africa is still a basket case ? Explain why so many subsaharian want to come to Europe? Instead of making their countries a better place? Why are Yes, a Norwegian hasn't much in common with a Portuguese, and it's not because they're white, but polite and rich. Where does all that money go to Africa? It's still poverty there and what are you doing? Complaining again. Sorry, donor fatigue hits in . Now go and do something. I'm getting a tad fed up with this whining. Have a nice time

    The Bridge was a bid deal for all nations involved. Finally we will start to see improvements in trade within the continent.
