Having travelled all the way from Lusaka to Macha-an organised fast growing area off Choma district in the southern part of Zambia,i was so tired that i could hardly see much of the area. Worse still we arrived at about 8pm so the darkness wouldn't let me explore the area otherwise.On the way,our crew included Mr. Luka Ngoyi H.O.D Electrical& Electronic Engineering-UNZA,Mr. Gondwe senior technitian Electrical Engineering-UNZA, Mr.Mulenga- driver and i was among the six Electrical Engineering students from UNZA. We used a small minibus from the transport yard-UNZA which was surprisingly effective considering the 70km gravel stretch from Pemba to Macha. It took us a total of about six and a half hours to travel from Lusaka to Macha. However, the folowing morning Mr. Vanstam-Linknet Direcctor took us round and oriented us to the place.People around looked so busy their projects i.e some were erecting buidings ,carryingout researches on malaria, teaching e.t.c.Nearby there was a nurse training collage,a Hospital and The Ubuntu cumpus whose building was one of those being erected. Due to lack of a tarred road and also due the need of fast transport in such an area, there is an air strip to accomodate small planes.
