definitive tripoint since 1964 is marked by a 1931 provisional beacon
designated either as number 9 in the westward series demarcating the
namibia zambia boundary
or else as number 32 in a southeastward series demarcating the lower angola
zambia boundary
but these are just 2 different names for 1 & the same object

its geoposition is
s lat 17d 38m 10s600 &
e long 23d 25m 47s604
just where the tree line above the left bank of the cuando river flood
plain crosses into the caprivi strip

the beacon consists of an iron auger driven 140cm into the ground
& directly over this on a cement concrete base is placed a cement concrete
block 46cm in both height & diameter
