the 1970’s the best attendance at the Zambia National Sailing Regatta which was held at Mulungushi was 140 plus sailing boats. Mulungushi was known for some of the best sailing conditions and facilities in the region. During the years of UDI , the Zimbabwean freedom fighters had a training camp just past what is known as Crocodile Island, or “the gap” and therefore members were initially not allowed “through the gap”. The club was eventually taken over by the Zambian army and declared a restricted area and the club remained closed for many years. Even after the closure of the mine and the sale of the mine assets, the mining company initially included all the club grounds in the sale of the Dam and power station, but fortunately for the club members the purchasers were not able to come up with the payment and when it was re-advertised the mining company excluded the club grounds and the club put in a successful offer for the purchase of the club on behalf of the members. Thus, in 1996 the club was revived and as the grounds now belong to the club a lot of developments have taken place. References Zambia Lowdown website accessed 19 February 2007.
