My partner in crime, Tate Israel informs the game is called Osholo, he also asks if you mind if he uses your pic in the Gazette? Do you remember the year it was?

Tate Kalenga, says thanks and wants to  let you know that being the politician that he is , he was happy to see that photo. He arrived  here in 1973 and was the 1st black to work in the IT dept.... like's to hear the story's from the 70's, especially where it involves his nation, I must show him the pic of you and that chap at "The Oval" Odasa ... is there a story to any of these pics? He's curious,
We are at work at the moment and thats him reading over my shoulder.....

see link for history of game.
I bought a small version from a rasta in Zambia and have seen them for sale at SA airports, next to the bones and stones.

Thought you might be interested.
