Share

Vice President Inonge Wina is this weekend expected in Kazungula district to check on the Kazungula Bridge ahead of its commissioning next month.

According to the program obtained from the office of the District Commissioner’s office today, the Vice President and her entourage are expected to be briefed by Kazungula Bridge Project Team Leader before touring package one and three of the Bridge Project.

ZANIS reports that package one is the main Bridge while package three is the border facility on the Zambian side.

Once commissioned, the Bridge will act as a tourist attraction due to its unique location and will also enhance regional trade, social and economic development in the sub-Saharan countries.

President Edgar Lungu and his Botswana Mokgweetsi Masisi counterpart are expected to commission the Kazungula Bridge in May this year.

  3. They want to now hurriedly open the bridge without completing the border posts and side works because zambia has elections in August and want to showcase this as one of the achievements. That’s why the Botswana president was invited last month so that they can discuss this and persuade him over the opening of the bridge in stages.

  4. Now you can travel by road from the Namibian coast on the Pacific Ocean to Maputo in the Indian Ocean. Things that are supposed to be only normal for neighbouring African countries and therefore facilitate trade amongst Namibians, Zambians, Zimbabweans Malawians and Mozambicans. That is how AFCA can operate.

  8. @Pro-Nepad go back to School – Namibia is on the Atlantic Ocean and the Katema Mula bridge at Shesheke has been open for 20 years and provides access from Walvis Bay to Lusaka and Beyond. As for going to Maputo there is a good highway direct from Namibia through Botswana and SA to Mozambique Check you School atlas as it seems you never got past Grade 5.
