There is surprisingly little foreign traffic to be see circulating in South Africa, so when you see something, you stop to shoot it, just like big game(!)
However, I have been confusing myself more than usually this week as I squeal to a halt, and make for a rare Zambia plate shot in the university city of Grahamstown.

Clearly a Zambian Mercedes, registered at Ndola (C), standard font – and yellow has been seen before …..

Another Ndola-like (CH) Zambian, and this one in the right colour, white. Seen in East London (not the Cockney one).

But now the Zimbabwean bird shows itself on ACF 5832 and those ZAMs look like ZIMs now. Both neighbouring countries are issuing almost identical plates!
But to be quite fair, a REAL current Zambian does show the ZAM shield
(but then, so SHOULD the Zimbabwean.)
Well – I’m happy I got that off my chest…..
