"mealies" at the end of Para 2 IS the correct word, it refers to corn or maize.
"Silverporto" should read Silva Porto (an Angolan town now known as Kuito).
Final line - its Kwango River, not Kwando. (Kwando also needs changing on Line 6 of third Para).
Thanks for these - can anyone confirm the spelling of "Koemba".
