Voi airstrip

Does anyone else notice something odd about Voi airstrip as seen on Google maps (use satellite view)
https://goo.gl/maps/9yjUyD6HQyC2

Is there an explanation?

Quite. You know you are in Africa when the direction of North is decided by a bloke with a paint pot.

The imagery is dated 2016, does anyone know if it is still like that?

They did make a change to the markings.
