Since the opening of its mission in Namibia, the Zambian High Commission has been using the same visitors' book.

This is not because the mission does not receive visitors, but because the book is large enough and has been carefully preserved over the years.

The Zambian High Commission to Namibia has opened a book of condolences for its late former vice president, Guy Scott. 

As declared by incumbent President Hakainde Hichilema on Thursday, the Zambian flag is flying at half mast.

The environment is sombre.
