An image shared on Facebook showing a raised canal built across a traffic intersection has been shared on Facebook with the claim that the waterway is the Kafubu River in Zambia. However, this is false; the aerial picture actually shows a canal bridge in Belgium.
This Facebook post published on May 24, 2021, includes the image which shows a working canal spanning a large traffic intersection, surrounded by green fields.
“Just Incase you’ve never been to Ndola Copperbelt this is an aerial Photo of Kafubu River ! Photo credit : Evans Kabesha,” reads the post’s caption.
