Fun fact; Rhodesia, the predecessor state to both Zimbabwe and Zambia (~1899-1980), had abolished the death sentence back in 1968! If you ever get to visit, check out the Zambezi River, which divides the two. One of the most beautiful rivers in the world.
Fun fact; Rhodesia was a racist white supremacist shit hole.
