''It can't be done!', was the original verdict when the possibility of building a dam to harness the Zambezi was first raised. But in 1954 a committee decided it could and would be done, and today a dam 420ft high, 1900ft long and carrying a 40ft roadway links Southern and Northern Rhodesia. It will bring power to vast areas of Central Africa.'

Frank Clements, himself a Rhodesian, tells the story from the time of Livingstone to the present day.
