Four countries meeting at one point? (before 1980 !)

Before 1980, the Rhodesian authorities claimed that all four countries met at a single point in the middle of the Zambesi river. Thus, they maintained that the ferry crossing from Botswana to Zambia needed to pass through Rhodesian or South-West-African territory ... and they therefore proceeded to sink it. After independence, Zimbabwe ceded territory to Botswana to widen the north-south link (thereby making a bridge feasible). Is that worth mentioning?-- DLMcN ( talk) 18:50, 8 July 2011 (UTC) reply

[Three years later...] Yes, probably - provided you have proper references, of course. RobinClay ( talk) 16:53, 22 June 2014 (UTC) reply
