chirundu1980zimrhodflagspenny.jpg

Chirundu in 1980 with extended Customs hall and State Warehouse. The flag is Zimbabwe-Rhodesia and was the only one ever flown at Chirundu. It flew continuously, day and night, from the re-opening of the border post till the arrival of the new Zimbabwe flag, as we had no halyard and it was simply tied to the top of the pole.
