the following mzzazw data gleaned from brownlie & ibs 117 118
& 133 may also help the trypointing game once the fences are
removed
this tripoint is hard to determine with confidence
but it may lie at the junction of the median lines of the rivers
limpopo & fafuri
aka pafuri aka luvuvhurivier
near beacon xiv of the 1927 portuguese south african survey
which stands 200m from the bank & 321m from the confluence
in rather thick scrub & reeds on sandy ground
at a location which is also under water when the rivers are in
flood
or else the tripoint lies at the junction of the limpopo thalweg &
the prolongation of the final straight line segment of the mzzw
boundary running down thru pillars 2 & 1
according to a later anglo portuguese treaty & survey
or
these descriptions could just be 2 different ways of defining the
same point
tho not likely
but note also the additional possibly significant difference of
opinion between thalweg & median line
which multiplies the possibilities from 1 or 2 to as many as 4
in any case
there is general agreement that the tripoint is wet & unmarked
& one source gives the coords as
slat22d25m25s x elong31d18m27s
