Yes, I used to live in Zambia many years ago when copper prices were high and the "pipeline" for exchange remittances was like three months behind schedule.
From the map, it looks like you are in Lusaka? Maybe I am wrong. I used to stay on the Kafue Road on the left hand side just past the Zambia National Service. Guess Water Wells and Tags Boreholes are still there? I was down the road from Tags Boreholes - if I remember the name just before Kearney & Co - the master Irishman who did all the roads for the Zambian government. Old Charlie Kearney was a character - bless him and his wife - a jewel of a couple.
Cheers
