Following the great news that we had over the weekend that Silas Mkumbu's visa had been issued, we had to wait until today to start work on the flights. The good news is that both James' and Silas' tickets have now been paid for, and in due course - thanks to the wonders of modern technology and e-ticketing - they will have them in their hands, just as soon as James can get to an Internet cafe that is! The brief details are that they arrive in the UK on the morning of December 4 and then return to Africa on February 15 next year.
