My Heart's Homeland

Chils Kemptonian (AKA "Geographic Accountant"), a roadfan & Geographer from Southern Africa. The primary countries I have associated with are Zambia (Born & Currently living) and South Africa (Stayed there on two occasions for several years).

Roadgeek

I have memorized all the "main Numbered Routes in Zambia" (T1 to T6 & M1 to M20) as well as all the "National Routes of South Africa" (N1 to N18) in my mind; I can state all the towns they pass through from start to finish without making an error. I also know a lot of the "Provincial Routes of South Africa" (R21 to R82). That's how much of a "sucker" I am for studying the map!

Primary Workplace

History

1. I expanded most articles about "Roads in South Africa" (still ongoing) & created only a few articles in this category on Wikipedia, as almost every road in SA already had an article (just needed expansion).

2. I created almost all the articles about "Roads in Zambia" on Wikipedia, primarily for the routes designated as "Territorial Roads" (M1 to M20) & "Inter-Territorial Roads" (T1 to T6). Only 3 articles existed at first (Great North Road; Great East Road; Lusaka-Mongu Road) & I decided to create the remainder.

Current Workplace

My region is "Southern Africa". 99% of my work is on "Roads in Zambia" and "Roads in South Africa" while the remaining 1% is for any neighbouring countries that have articles such as Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia & Malawi.

The Zimbabwe articles are a mess right now on Wikipedia and I am working on finding out how to cleanse them.

Since Zambia is where I am based at the moment, I add information to any Zambian road article as events happen, such as the road being given to a concessionaire using a public-private partnership (which company has been chosen; how much will be spent on the road; for how many years; etc). I also do the same with any South African road articles as information arises.

I add information when it is available and discovered for various ongoing projects in the nations I associate with, such as T3 (Zambia)#Lusaka-Ndola Dual Carriageway, M4 (Zambia)#Ndola-Mufulira road concession and N2 Wild Coast Toll Route.
