Espungabera
Espungabera is a township in the Mossurize District of Manica Province in central Mozambique. It is situated from a border post with Zimbabwe, which is open daily from 8:00 to 17:00 or 18:00. Espungabera has 3 fuel stations but supplies can run out. The language spoken on either side of the border is chiNdau. During the Frelimo-Renamo struggle of the late 70s to early 90s it was one of the strategic towns where the FPLM maintained a heavy mechanized presence, since the Espungabera-Dombé-Chimoio road link which offered access to Zimbabwe, was repeatedly attacked and disrupted by insurgents. In 2010 the Espungabera-Dombé road was being rehabilitated, which was expected to improve the area's economic and tourism potential. The Pafuri border post with South Africa can be reached via Chitobe (in Machaze District) and Save Centro to Massangena or Zambaredja, but an off-road vehicle An off-road vehicle, sometimes referred to as an overland or adventure vehicle, is considered ...

Birchenough Bridge
Birchenough Bridge is the name for both a bridge across the Save River (pronounced Sa've) and a village next to the bridge. Birchenough Bridge is called after Sir Henry Birchenough. Birchenough Bridge is located 62 km from Chipinge in the Manicaland province of Zimbabwe linking Chipinge with Buhera. History The bridge was funded at a cost of £145 000.00 and planned by the Beit Trust, a foundation chaired at the time by Sir Henry Birchenough whose ashes are buried beneath the structure of the bridge. Ralph Freeman, the bridge's designer, was also the structural designer on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and consequently the two bridges bear a close resemblance, although Birchenough is only two-thirds as long as the Australian bridge. It was built by Dorman Long and completed in 1935. At a length of 1,080 feet (329 m) it was the third longest single-arch suspension bridge in the world at the time. In the 1970s a 40-tonne load limit was imposed on the bridge but in 1984 the br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ndau People
The Ndau are an ethnic Shona subethnic group which inhabits the areas in south-eastern Zimbabwe in the districts of Chipinge and Chimanimani in which they are natives. They are also found in parts of Bikita, in the Zambezi valley, in central Mozambique all the way to the coast and in central Malawi. The name "Ndau" is a derivation from the people's traditional salutation "Ndau wee!" in greetings and other social settings. When the Ngoni observed this, they called them the Ndau people, the name itself meaning the land, the place or the country in their language. Some suggestions are that the name is derived from the Nguni words "Amading'indawo" which means "those looking for a place" as this is what the Gaza Nguni called them and the name then evolved to Ndau. This is erroneous as the natives are described in detail to have already been occupying parts of Zimbabwe and Mozambique in 1500s by Joao dos Santos. The five largest Ndau groups are the Magova; the Mashanga; the Vatomboti, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
