Whisky and prawns
Politicians and civil servants going to Lusaka for the Commonwealth Conference next month can take comfort that their needs are being catered for in hungry Zambia, reports the “Financial Times” in London. Zambia has ordered 6000 bottles of champagne, 6000 bottles of whisky, and 16,000 bottles of wine to aid the
deliberations of the Commonwealth leaders.
Other essentials being flown in to a country where food shortages have become almost endemic include mushrooms, prawns, crabmeat, Swiss chocolate and artichokes. In fact, Joshua Nkomo’s guerrillas might find there will be enough to spare for them as well.
