Kasane

Kasane is a town in Botswana, close to Africa's 'Four Corners', where four countries almost meet: Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is at the far north-eastern corner of Botswana where it serves as the administrative center of the Chobe District. The population of Kasane was 7,638 in 2001 census.

Kasane briefly obtained international fame as the location of the remarriage of Elizabeth Taylor to Richard Burton, in 1975.

Transport

The town lies on the south bank of the 200–300 metres (660–980 ft) wide Chobe River which forms the border with the extreme tip of Namibia's Caprivi Strip. The Namibian island of Impalila lies opposite the town on the north bank of the river, and there is a border crossing by passenger ferry to Namibia. About 8 kilometres (5 mi) to the east of Kasane is the village of Kazungula, where Botswana has 1.6 kilometres (1.0 mi) of frontage to the Zambezi river immediately below its confluence with the Chobe River. Here the Kazungula border post serves the Kazungula Ferry crossing to Kazungula in Zambia on the north bank of the Zambezi. Nearby a second border post serves the road into Zimbabwe which runs 70 kilometres (43 mi) east to Victoria Falls.

    THE RIVER

    by: Cassino

    The boat that failed it's only sail
    is burning in the river
    It's heating up the water mains
    while the rest of the house just shivers
    It's sinking fast
    straight through the grass
    A buoyant mask
    A medical grasp
    and that... was
    all I had to give her
    ...but I will take my hand's mistakes
    Stay afloat in
    this flushing river
    With the smell of your soul
    and fix the bridge that
    bowed
    from the blows that age delivers
    But I fear collapse...
    as your
    weight will pass
    You know... I love you more that you will know
    Something
    is coming for us
    t's coming through the vents
    .for the worst and
    best.
    And so it seems
    Like old beliefs...
    We're struggling in the
    water
    Fishing for a fish that knows
    of a way to save the other...
    Don't turn
    blue
    It's turning the room...
    and as it spins the violence
    coats the walls
    in bother...
    Carousels and comet tails
    are somewhere in this river
    ...and
