Livingstone in Zambia is a town full of history that is often untold. But through the involvement of Zambezi Boat Club in the recent Zambezi River regatta's and their love history of Livingstone we can enjoy a glimpse of what was then. If you love history then the Zambezi Boat Club could be your dream in Livingstone.
The Zambezi Boat Club is very proud and passionate about its long standing heritage of which the Regatta is an integral part. A regatta is an aquatic sport which requires a good organisation and adequate funding. To accomplish this, the organising Committee is usually formed or made up of interested club members. The organising Committee is responsible for sourcing for sponsorship for what became an annual event in Livingstone City. From time in memorial this dedicated organisation developed the regatta from its birth to its place as one of the outstanding annual events in Zambezi Boat Club Affairs.
Zambezi Boat Club considers this event as one of the fundraising activities and has continued to take on the responsibility for staging the regatta every year. It has not been smooth sailing though, and the success has been assured only by the fine Cooperation of all those involved from the start.
Further the event speaks to the principle of encouraging mass participation, rowing in unison towards the youth entrepreneurship and Tourism sector development.
The rafting sport attracts participating teams around Livingstone, other Districts and Provinces. Apart from entertainment, the event also provides a platform for sponsoring firms to advertise and market their products and services. In the past Zambian Breweries Plc took an exclusive role in sponsoring the prizes, uniforms and pre- cocktail function for the participating teams and sponsors in addition to advertising the event until sometime in 2011.
But in the recent past we have seen other corporate companies like Autoworld coming on board and associated to the success of the subsequent regatta events by sponsoring T-shirts for the organising Committee and participating teams. The Company has been instrumental in the past ten (10) years now and the Club is elated to that effect.
It is our anticipated view that regatta event will in future attract more prospective sponsors and the Government should identify the potential need for promoting the event with the budgetary support.

While some people think a tool is just a tool, professionals and artisans alike know that the quality of your hand tools makes a big difference to your work. Poor quality tools can leave you at risk of delays, injuries and imperfections, and investing in decent tools is crucial for anyone who works with them every day.
Durability
When it comes to weighing up the pros and cons of investing in a better-quality tool, many people think they’re saving money by purchasing cheap knock-offs. However, these are all but certain to break – and often at the most frustrating moment. This means that not only do you have to purchase a new replacement, you’ll have to put your project on hold while you go find one.
High-quality tools such as those made by GEDORE are guaranteed to deliver a lifetime of dependable performance, so when you purchase one of our tools, you never have to worry about it breaking or performing under par.
Precision
Another downside of cheaper tools is the lack of precision and reliability. When you’re working on a project, you need to know that all your tools are delivering precise performance, every time – otherwise, you risk your whole project falling apart. GEDORE’s high-quality hand tools always meet and often exceed international standards and tolerances, giving you peace of mind that your tool is doing exactly what you need it to do.
Safety
If a tool breaks or lets you down at a crucial moment, you may risk unnecessary injuries. From tools that slip at the wrong moment, to blades that snap and cause lacerations, low-quality tools present a much higher danger than those of a better calibre.
Ergonomics is also something to consider, as high-quality hand tools are usually designed to be operated comfortably and with as little effort as possible. If you’re working with your hands all day, this is a massive bonus, reducing the risk of aches, pains, fatigue and musculoskeletal injuries.
At GEDORE, we have spent over a century perfecting each of our superior hand tools – and we’re so confident in their long-lasting performance, every GEDORE tool is guaranteed for life.
So, when it comes to choosing the right-hand tools for you, choose GEDORE for the ultimate in quality, precision and lifelong durability.

Tyres keep the car on the ground. The importance of good tyre should never be discounted. Even with top‐notch safety features in place motor accidents can occur if not for a good set of wheels. There is no shortcut around this. Get your tyres changed!
1. Bald tyres can overheat
Tyres that are worn down too much are called bald tyres. Bald tyres have a very little tread left on its circumference. As a result, the rubber of the bald tyre is constantly in contact with the asphalt. This causes relatively more heat build‐up compared to a tyre with good groove depth. A new tyre would have grooves to let the air course through. This cools the tyre. Since a worn‐down tyre does not have treads heat would build up and eventually the tyre can blow out.
2. More likely to puncture
The tread of half worn out or bald tyre would be eroded. Because of this, there is only a little rubber left to act as a buffer between the tyre and the roadway. Running over a
bit of glass or any sharp‐edged debris is going to leave you with a flat tyre. Unexpected burst tyre in the middle of driving can potentially cause in a single‐vehicle collision.
3. There is the risk of hydroplaning
Tread patterns or grooves are designed to prevent hydroplaning. Hydroplaning or aquaplaning is when there is a layer of water beneath the tyre. In half‐worn tyres or in bald tyres grooves are worn out making it difficult for water to flow out from under the tyre. Hydroplaning causes the vehicle to slide through the water on the surface of the road. When this happens the driver might lose control over the vehicle.
4. Tyre wear and under‐inflation
Worn out tyres lose air pressure faster making them under‐inflated. Underinflation further wears down the tyres and thus a vicious cycle ensues. Half‐worn or bald tyres when under‐inflated can cause serious problems to the motorists. With a lower tyre pressure also comes lesser fuel economy. You are likely to experience difficulty in steering. There is also a bigger chance of ending up with a busted tyre.
5. Bald tyres put you at the risk of a tyre burst
Without treads, there is a risk of tyres suddenly blowing out while driving. In a bald tyre, the rubber is more in contact with the asphalt. This would cause the tyres to accumulate more heat and burst. You become more vulnerable if you are driving briskly. Debris from the road can damage a bald tyre more than a new tyre causing the tyre to rupture.
6. Takes longer to brake in the rain
On wet roads, worn‐out tyres take significantly longer to come to a stop once the brake is applied. This was observed even in cars with an anti‐lock braking system (ABS). Taking longer and farther to halt after hitting the brake can even result in a vehicle collision.

Ask around and you’ll get several different answers. Some cars will get up to five or six years out of their battery, while others will need a new one after only two years. In general, your car will usually need a new battery after three to four years. Replacing your car battery is another part of routine maintenance. Getting your battery checked and inspected is standard for your service visits after three years, even if you haven’t needed it replaced yet.
The two biggest factors that go into how long your battery lasts are your driving habits and where you live. Inactivity can really bring down your battery’s lifespan. If you don’t drive often or you only use the car for short trips, then it’s going to weaken your battery. If you only use the car for a brief 15-minute commute, try taking the scenic route or going on a road trip sometime to help prolong the battery’s charge.
The climate where you live is the other factor to pay attention to. If you’re driving in an area where it’s hot all year, then that’s going to wear your battery down faster than driving in a colder climate.
Loose connections or corroded battery terminals can damage your battery. Solid brass battery terminals are the best battery terminals to use on your vehicle as they do not corrode as quick as some of the other cheaper options of terminals on the market. For more details on brass Battery terminals ask for details at any of our sales counters.
Having a strong battery holder will definitely save the battery from being physically damaged and avoid it shorting against the metal body of the vehicle while you drive on bumpy roads.
A lot of drivers don’t know their battery is low until their car won’t start. Luckily, there are some warning signs that your battery needs to be replaced. One sign is if it’s taking your car longer to start. You’ll hear the engine cranking for longer and the ignition not turning over as soon as it used to, which means the battery’s charge has gotten weak.
Along the same lines, you may also notice that your interior lights aren’t as bright as they used to be. In some cars, a dashboard light that looks like your battery will turn on when it’s low or has low battery fluid. Another sign to look out for is damage. If your battery is cracked or has started corroding, you’ll be able to see it just by looking at it. Sometimes, you’ll even smell it since it gives off a pungent sulfur smell.
Head on down to your nearest Autoworld and have your vehicles battery checked.
