Just a note to tell an incident that occurred when we (Ben Sakala and myself) went to Lusaka to collect some of the furnishings that we had purchased.
We made it to Choma (two and one-half hours for 70 Km) without incident and continued on the paved road to Lusaka. As we approached the Village of Pemba, we were flagged down by a uniformed policeman. We thought that it was the usual police checkpoint, HOWEVER, it was not. The policeman had stopped us to literally commandeer our vehicle to transport 2 handcuffed prisoners to the jail in Monze (on the way to Lusaka). We stopped and the policeman (with rifle in-hand) loaded his two prisoners in the back of the truck. Off we went and upon our arrival in Monze, we delivered our passengers near the local police station. Relatively uneventful trip thereafter.
Just wanted you all to know about some of our experiences.
