claim: Sindabezi Island is a territory of Zimbabwe
evidence: Sindabezi Island development, comprising five thatched chalets, opened in 1994 by Tongabezi Lodge (Zambia). The island is upstream of the Victoria Falls World Heritage Site. The use of the Sindabezi island triggered an international debate of the line of the international border, with the island located less than 50 metres from the Zimbabwean bank. Zambian authorities claimed the border ran along the deepest channel, while Zimbabwean authorities claimed it ran down the mid-line of the river (and that Sindabezi Island therefore lay in Zimbabwean territory). It was eventually agreed that the line of the border ran along the deep-water channel. [...] Company website: Sindabezi Island (Tongabezi/Green Safaris).
