Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>As the US Vice President Kamala Harris made her grand entrance into Lusaka, the city\u2019s residents were left awestruck by the impressive display of motorcades and security detail. Prominent lawyer Sakwiba Sikota couldn\u2019t help but draw parallels between her visit and the grandeur last witnessed in Zambia during Haile Selassie\u2019s state visit in 1965. Lusaka residents were excited to host the US Vice President, especially considering that she once lived there as a child. Harris\u2019s charisma and genuine interest in the people left a lasting impression on those who were privileged to meet her.<\/p>\n

However, as Kamala Harris ventured out to Chisamba, the locals were struck by something entirely different, and equally impressive. The dirt roads that were once in a state of disrepair were magically transformed within a short period. The six-kilometer stretch from Mungule turnoff to Panuka farm was previously in a pathetic state, leaving locals to endure a bumpy ride. But, thanks to a partnership between the US Embassy and the Zambia National Service (ZNS), the road was resurfaced and the last kilometer was transformed from a mere path into a beautiful, smooth gravel road.<\/p>\n

Although the locals weren\u2019t invited to visit the Panuka farm during Kamala Harris\u2019s visit, they can now enjoy the benefits of the newly refurbished roads. And perhaps, as they travel along these once-ruined paths, they can\u2019t help but feel a sense of pride knowing that their community has caught the eye of some of the world\u2019s most powerful leaders.<\/p>\n
