Zambia: Legacy of liberalisation

This medium-sized settlement, just west of Lusaka, looks like a standard African market town as you approach it on the road. It all looks ordinary and typically African - until you look into the distance and realise that at the end of the main street is an enormous modern building that completely dominates the vista. It is a South African-owned supermarket. It is an indication of how deep the influence of liberalisation has reached in Zambia.
