Firstly, it is a delightful campsite near Victoria Falls, and secondly Russell, the owner would place our names on his 'manifest', precluding the requirement to purchase visas for Zambia, for the manifest acknowledges that we have accommodation booked in the country prior to our arrival. British visas for Zambia (and very often other African countries) are higher than for other nationalities in reciprocation for the charges Britain makes to these particular nationals. In our case we saved a total of £70. Immigration were no problem, they accepted our word about the manifest, although they claimed they had no copy either. We got the impression that they could not be bothered to check. Customs were efficient and stamped the carnet. However we had to argue about the 3rd party insurance. We knew we had to have a Zambian insurance document, for we were unable to get a Comesa Yellow Card (equivalent to the European Green Card) in South Africa. We already had 3rd party cover for most of Africa already through our comprehensive policy with Cross Country Insurance, but whether the police at the road blocks would accept it was another matter. We decided to politely argue the point, although the customs chaps were only demanding US$16, as a matter of principle - nothing ventured, nothing gained. In the event, we settled on US$15 for our insurance as they accepted that we already had cover, but we needed police peace of mind further on! We had read and heard that Zambian road blocks were problematic, but in point of fact, were were only stopped once and the police could not have been more polite throughout our time in Zambia. Let us hope we experience this further on, but somehow we doubt it!

IN ZAMBIA, IN AN OPEN FIELD NEXT TO A MARKET, PERFORMING THE SPIRITS Home Introduction Projects Articles/Plays ... Photo Gallery Shoeless and shirtless children ran cheering excitedly along side the vehicle as it bounced over ruts of red earth. As our Toyota Land Cruiser entered the circle created for our performance we immediately became the focus of gathered attention. We drove across the circle of dry grass to a make-shift stagea large wooden box surrounded with drums and puppets. Suddenly there was a spontaneous cheer from the crowd with arms waving, faces smiling and much whistling. Our arrival signaled the beginning of the performance to the crowd who waited for nearly forty minutes in the warm, but not yet hot, African sun. There is a unique crystal-like clarity and gentle freshness that characterizes the winter sky of southern Africa. Its sharp blue providing a perfect backdrop for the colorful mosaic of colorful clothing dotted with beautiful black faces. We were in Kitwe the heart of Zambia's "Copperbelt," formerly the world's most productive copper, zinc, and tin mines until the bottom fell out of the international metals in the early 1980's and first world countries started using laser optics instead of copper. Since then the Copperbelt Province, as the rest of Zambia, has been tail spinning in a whirl of foreign debt, inflation, unemployment, abject poverty, tribal in-fighting, and government corruption. The Land Cruiser pulled behind our "stage box" to provide both backdrop and a backstage for our performance. Timothy Mugala, Lenard, Milimo, and Jerry Jmuale who were drumming in a sweat at the box and nodded happily. At the center of the circle was shirtless Peter Piri who was entertaining the audience with his traditional comic dances. Though from the Bemba tribe, Peter knew scores of traditional dances from many different tribes; he was presenting an impromptu, sometimes bawdy, crowd pleasing warm-up to fill the time. The audience followed every move of his torso and stomach as he rotated and punctuated the syncopating drum rhythms with his astounding isolations.

In Depth TUNING INTO FOOD SECURITY Amake Tofie , a small-scale farmer with a slight drinking problem, and Ba Estelleh, a housewife who looks after the orphans of her daughter who has died from HIV/AIDS, are household names in Zambia, thanks to a WFP-supported radio soap opera highlighting risks to food security. Lusaka , 22 December 2003 - 'Ichi chalo' , a phrase in the indigenous Bemba language, is being heard more and more frequently in Zambia. Literally translated, 'ichi chalo' means 'this world in which we live'. But, for the growing number of Zambians struggling against food shortages, it has become a common way of referring to their daily battle to feed themselves and their families. Radio stations, and in particular community radio stations, have proven to be one of the best mediums for disseminating information in Zambia Richard Ragan, WFP Country Director

Zambia has a number of excellent game reserves and is known for her warm and friendly people. A number of Bantu tribes existed in the area when Portuguese and English traders and missionaries arrived in Zambia in the 19th century. Britain annexed most of Zambia in 1890 and it became known as Northern Rhodesia. Vast copper deposits were discovered, but little was left for the native Zambians after independence in 1963. The country was plagued by all kinds of economic and political instability, which mostly ended when Frederick Chiluba became president.

PASALA - Project for the Advanced Study of Art and Life in Africa and The University of Iowa Diplomacy in Motion: Makishi as Political Harmony in Barotseland Karen Milbourne In 1982, Victor Turner wrote "perhaps only celebration can adequately understand celebration, but language can give an approximate rendering of it and some semantic perspective on its products . . ."(1) I think that celebration can be applied as a methodology. In the study of performance or pageantry, choices are made, and these decisions are the substance of a productive process. However, I believe that all too often scholars have equated change with deterioration. Celebration has proved useful in my own research, where beliefs in "purity" and "tradition" have set the tone for what little material there is. Celebration places change within the positive context of creativity. I look to the performance of makishi masks, the cultural property of Mbunda peoples, in Lozi celebrations to demonstrate the means by which the arts are used to publicly display political cohesion. Mbunda, Lozi and nearly two dozen other groups, each defined by language, have settled along the Zambezi River in Zambia's Western Province, historically known as Barotseland. I arrived in Limulunga, the flood-time capitol of the Lozi royalty, on June 30th, 1996, after thirty hours by bus on what I came to call, the "not-road." June 30th and the first two days of July are national holidays in Zambia, and in Limulunga they are filled with such festivities as a ten kilometer marathon and music and dance performances

During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964. In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices and a prolonged drought hurt the economy. Elections in 1991 brought an end to one-party rule, but the subsequent vote in 1996 saw blatant harassment of opposition parties. The election in 2001 was marked by administrative problems with at least two parties filing legal petitions challenging the results. Opposition parties currently hold a majority of seats in the National Assembly.

It is divided into 18 provinces, with the city of Luanda as its capital. The country became independent from Portugal November 11, 1975. As of July 2001, Angola’s population was estimated to be 10,366,000. Religion here is split roughly between indigenous beliefs and Christianity, while predominant languages include Portuguese, Bantu and a variety of other African tongues. Only 42 percent of the population is literate; the average life expectancy is 38.6 years. The land rises east from a narrow coastal plain to a vast interior plateau; the country’s highest point is Morro de Moco, at approximately 8,600 feet. Angola’s climate ranges from semiarid in the southern and coastal areas to cool, dry winters and hot, rainy summers in the north. Nearly all the land is desert or savanna, with hardwood forests in the northeast. Only 2 percent of the country is arable, though it has abundant natural resources, including petroleum, gold, diamonds and iron ore. Despite its natural resources, Angola remains one of the poorest countries in the world, largely the result of a quarter-century of civil war that has devastated the economy. Today, 85 percent of the population depends on subsistence agriculture for its livelihood. Oil production and related activities account for 45 percent of the gross domestic product.

Examples could be cited from any part of the world, including the so-called industrialized nations. What I am observing here with regard to Central Africa is analogous to what has been and still is practised in areas with totally different cultures elsewhere in the world. Oppressive strategies usually work in manner that the victimized groups learn to internalize the oppressor's standpoint. The oppressor, moreover, is not usually a person, but an abstract entity, such as a "policy", a "law", a "rule", a "convention", a "system", an "approved" way of behaviour. If a person in northwestern Zambia, for example, speaking Luchazi as his/her mother tongue, feels an inner coercion to write letters to friends who are from the same language community, in Luvale which is one of the "officially approved" languages in that country, then this is an example for such internalization.
