Now a makeshift vehicle barge over Limpopo (Mapai/Xicumbane)
Posted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 7:46 am
Heard rumours about this but finally have pics that prove it. The
'pontoon' crosses at the usual Mapai/Xicumbane crossing but will still
be seasonal, I think as when the Limpopo is in full spate I think the
polers will be literally and figuratively out of their depth. See
attached pics.
Cost is around R350 per vehicle, haggling skills dependant.
