Notes from
photographer -
"Photo is of a shot up vehicle I found next to the
road to Kariba. I missed the convoy to Kariba, and
drove all by my lonesome trying to catch it. It was
like driving on the surface of the moon, the only
traffic I saw for hours was the convoy coming back
from Kariba, and they had an Eland armored car and a
helicopter gunship flying over the convoy. They
stopped me and told me I was absolutely nuts to be
driving by myself on that road, but I was only about
10 minutes behind the other convoy, and I did not
have enough gas to make it back, so I pushed on.
Couple of miles down the road I found this vehicle,
have no idea what happened to it or when, but the
bulllet holes are plainly visible(and so is my
Beretta shotgun barrel poking out the window!). I
also found a guy with a flat tire with one of the
"truck gunships" guarding him while he changed the
tire, and they told me the same thing. Daily
ambushes on this road, and I was bonkers. I drove
like a bat out of hell, and just hoped I did not hit
an elephant, because I saw quite a few of them." |
