 Letter
From Livingstone
Once again,
unfortunately, the information from Livingstone and the Centenary
Celebrations is a little scanty and certainly not enough for anyone
planning to visit Livingstone to participate in any of them, to make
any meaningful plans..
During May,
aerial flights will be conducted over the town and the Falls for
Livingstone’s residents. No dates can be set for this as it will
depend on when the various operators are free.
Also on the
calendar is the annual African Queen Ceremony. Livingstone Events
Organisation are unable to tell me exactly when this is taking place
or even what is taking place.
For the month of
June, all of Zambia’s Mayors have been invited to Livingstone for a
get-together (!) where they will, amongst other things, march up the
main street in their full regalia, accompanied by a brass band. The
dates for this are not yet set but it will be between 21 and 26
June. It will be followed by the official launch of the
celebrations. No other information for June events is available at
the time of going to press.
What happened
regarding the celebrations for the centenary of the completion of
the bridge? I am told that something, although no one can tell me
exactly what, is happening today (22 April). Unfortunately The
Lowdown cannot wait and the printing presses are waiting.
And all the time,
the train is pulling further and further out of the station!
