Before 1980, the Rhodesian authorities claimed that all four countries met at a single point in the middle of the Zambesi river. Thus, they maintained that the ferry crossing from Botswana to Zambia needed to pass through Rhodesian or South-West-African territory ... and they therefore proceeded to sink it. After independence, Zimbabwe ceded territory to Botswana to widen the north-south link (thereby making a bridge feasible). Is that worth mentioning?--DLMcN (talk) 18:50, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
