Zambias horror hour revisited

My wife and I had travelled to Mochudi not to look for football boots, but school shoes for our son, Paul, who was among a few students from Lentsweletau Community Junior Secondary School who were selected for senior secondary school at Molefhi Senior Secondary School.

We had just crossed the road from the late Mma Malepa’s pharmacy when a Radio Botswana (RB) Setswana news bulletin mentioned something about “Zambia, Gabon and Senegal” roused my curiosity. I did not fully comprehend what was being announced.
