The main road from Mwinilunga to Sakeji crosses four main rivers, with the
Sakeji river as the last one before the plain and then the Sakeji School
turn-off. Erosion of the road at the Sakeji river near its source due to
heavy rains has almost cut us off from the rest of Zambia. This picture was
taken of the road yesterday, with the wash-away now the main feature! Should
we call it the Sakeji Grand Canyon? It is certainly not so “grand” to anyone wanting to travel this direction.
It is doubtful if small vehicles will be able to get through on this route.
Even the alternative road through Ikonga is impassable. Try flying!
