I, for one, can vouch for the Zambian BS. The level of corruption is equal to, or worse, than any other African cesspit. Ben Mwila, ex defence minister being a prime culprit (ex because I think he's gone to that big AIDS hospital in the sky). TASPs are a joke as even after getting them some official will find fault and approach with the standard opening, ie "What have you got for me?".
SOP Africa: They're usually so confused they're not sure if christ was crucified or went down with the Titanic. Only one thing's for sure: you, as a foreigner, are percieved to be a walking wallet and nothing will convince petty officialdom in Zambia that the Dollar Fairy didn't drop off a barrowload of USD on your doorstep as she does every morning.
GGGRRRRRRRRR........
Drooling and ranting switch now in "off" position!
