Zambia

The area which is now the Republic of Zambia (formerly Northern Rhodesia) was initially inhabited by hunter-gatherer tribes for thousands of years and something of a crossroads in the migrations of Bantu and specifically Nguni peoples.

Ain’t no mountain high enough

The highest peak in the Drakensberg range is actually not in KwaZulu-Natal but in neighbouring Lesotho. It is called Thabana Ntlenyana, meaning “beautiful little mountain” and is 3 482 metres high. It has recently been established that Mafadi at 3451m is South Africa’s highest peak and not Injasuthi, “the satisfied dog”, as previously thought. The highest voices in the Drakensberg doubtless belong to boys of the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir School, Africa’s only such school. The Champagne Valley in term-time rings out with tunes varying from African traditional to rollicking spirituals and from Requiems to Andrew Lloyd-Webber
