Nkotakata

I noticed that the town where the M12 road meets the M18 road is named "Nkotakata" on Google Maps. Then, I went to the same location on OpenStreetMap and saw that it was named "Kamwendo". Due to this contradiction, I went back to Google Maps and decided to zoom in to the town and I saw various buildings with names such as "Kamwendo Police Station" and "Kamwendo Model Primary School". So, I am convinced that the name of that area is actually "Kamwendo" and that is why I have edited the town name that was written in the Infobox.

I have a feeling that "Nkotakata" is not actually the name of that "M18 & M12 junction" town. Could it be that it is the other name for "Kamwendo"? I'll need to find out. But for now, I have removed the mention of "Nkotakata" from the Infobox, as I am convinced that that area is named "Kamwendo" and that is the name that I have put in the Infobox to refer to the "M18 & M12 junction". Let me just say "I will re-add it if I manage to verify that it is the name of that town". Thanks.
