Last update: 5 hours agoZambia Travel & Tourism Watch: The Electoral Commission of Zambia says all ballot papers for the 13 August general election will be flown by charter from Dubai straight to Lusaka, with printing in the UAE under tight security—an update that matters for anyone planning travel around election logistics. Visa Rules for South Africa: South Africa’s official visa exemption lists show which African countries can enter visa-free for up to 90 days (including Zambia) and a separate list for up to 30 days—useful for cross-border travellers and tour operators.
