Greetings, our mission organization has been working for several years in Harare and because of the political and economic situation, we are not able to continue with our plans to start a small bible college. We have been to Lake Kariba (Zim side) many times but have never been to the Zambia side. We were wondering about the town of Siavango-if there would be services and property such as a large warehouse or house to rent. Can you find a good used car in Lusaka for around $3,000USD? We have always flown into Harare but this time will probable fly into Lusaka. Any inside information would be greatly appreciated.
