I don't drink. But I want to tell you about the biggest barfight I've ever seen and had the privilege to figure in. If the ferry works, you can cross the Zambezi, into Northern Mozambique. You can still cross it otherwise, but then you do it by dug-out canoe, and walk. The province is Zambezia, and the only town with electricity is Mokuba, if the ferry works.
Electricity also needs diesel.
The town had seen many grandiose East German and Russian development projects and five year plans, and are thus shabby and run down. The buildings date back to the bad, bad colonial era, as do most of the things still working. Every morning the town has to hand in its AK47's. It is that kind of town. And then the Administrator comes out.
