1. This may help everyone to have a clear picture of the meaning of what Pres Masisi said in the video which is now being used for propaganda. The moment the two countries realised we were not serious, the made sure the bridge will avoid our land.
2. So they did what they did on their own as two counties, you can also here Pres Masisi saying "The two countries". Which means what was launched today is purely Zambia and Botswana's work. Program, Deco & ribbon cutting is also clear about that fact.
3. We are now joining an almost complete project. Now the two countries are including us but the part is going to benefit Zimbabwe mostly. You can hear Pres Masisi saying "For Zimbabwe" the assumption is the bridge is now extending extending our own soil.
4. Our government didn't want to join because it was benefitting from the former route which passed through our country and thought having the bridge would cut their benefits now that they have seen there is not turning back they start claiming. Imika 🤣
