A composite view of Pachanza Keep site taken from the main road heading towards
Mukumbura and looking South-East.
In the foreground is the soccer field used by the Keep staff from time to time
to play a game. The building, outside
the Keep on the right, was the new clinic which had just been built.

the Mvuradonha Range.
For those who are not familiar with the Keep concept, basically it was an old
fashioned fort consisting of four
earth walls forming a square and inside which the camp was located. On
each corner was located a
sand-bagged bunker which would provide shelter and a firing positions in the
event of an attack.
