Introduction This complex of ruins from which the modern nation of Zimbabwe took its name is one of the country's greatest historical and cultural attractions. As Paul Tingay's helpful guide explains, Great Zimbabwe, the largest ruins in Africa, covers almost 1,800 acres. Sited on an open wooded plain surrounded by hills, the ruins comprise the vast Great Enclosure complex, and on a nearby kopje the Hill Complex, a veritable castle of interlocking walls and granite boulders, while all around in the valley lie a myriad other walls. The ruins feature an array of chevron, herringbone and many other intricate patterns in its walls, and the astonishing fact is that despite the dry-stone technique used in Great Zimbabwe's construction (no mortar binds the stone blocks), the complex has endured for seven centuries.

Passenger information Flight Schedules bookings Destinations Zimbabwe : The country Climate Zimbabwe has one of the finest climates in the world, warm without being oppressive and with daily average sunshine ranging from four to 10, hours all year round. The climate is sub-tropical with the rainy season normally stretching from November to March. The winter season is from May to July with generally dry weather. Light summer clothing is suitable from September to May and warmer clothing for the rest of the year. The period August to October is very hot and dry. Generally the days are bright and sunny, the nights clear and cool. Both temperature and rainfall are directly influenced by altitude. The Highveld and the Eastern Highlands have lower temperatures which the lowveld and the Zambezi basin are hotter and winter. In the latter, summer temperature can soar to over 35 degrees Celsius compared with the Highveld range of 25 degrees Celsius to 35 s degrees Celsius. Day time temperatures range between 13 to 20 degrees Celsius but fall to -5 degrees Celsius at night. Economy Zimbabwe's major trading partners are South Africa, the UK, Germany, the USA, and Botswana. Significant trade also takes place under the auspices of the Southern African Development Community (SADC); the Preferential Trade Agreement of Southern and East African states (PTA) or the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA); and the Lome (IV) Convention. About one third of Zimbabwe's exports are destined for the regional markets, comprising South Africa, SADC, and PTA/COMESA. The remainder is shared between the European Union and the rest of the world. The pattern is relatively similar for imports although the rest of the world tends to contribute a little more than a third.

STREET CHILDREN Africa Panafrican News Agency (PANA) 11 October 1996 Extended Family Breaking Up Fast in Zimbabwe By Itai Musengeyi, correspondent HARARE, Zimbabwe (PANA) - Like elsewhere in Africa, a combination of socio-economic factors are fast eroding Zimbabwe's age old traditional extended family system. Urbanisation, industrialisation, economic hardships, adoption of Western values and widening of socio-economic gaps have disrupted family life in a nation which 50 years ago was quite close-knit. Extended family ties have been slackening over the years as people of this southern African country of over 10.5 million become more concerned with their immediate families, with some even failing to adequately feed and clothe their spouses and children. "Due to economic hardships some people now deliberately avoid extended families and do not want their addresses known to relatives," observes Rodreck Mupedziswa, deputy principal of the University of Zimbabwe's school of social work. In Zimbabwe, the cost of living has been escalating since the government of President Robert Mugabe introduced economic reforms in 1991.

Culture Popular Cities in Zimbabwe Victoria Falls Harare Other Guides United States Northeast Mid-Atlantic Southeast ... Australia-Pacific Source: Away.com A Sculptural Tour of Zimbabwe By Nina Mitchell (Photo: Henry Munyaradzi's "Blessed Orphan." Courtesy of the Handelsman Collection.) The wild animals of Zimbabwe usually draw visitors to this part of the world, but other creatures here offer equal fascination. Earthy and elegant, heavy but graceful, Zimbabwe's stone sculpture melds modern artistic sensibilities with African themes. Working in the gleaming black serpentine stone native to the region, sculptors carve just what is needed to suggest a bird, or a woman, or even an emotion. And side trips to the communities that have grown up around this new/old art form are the perfect complement to the splendors of Victoria Falls and the numerous wildlife parks in the region. Given the international acclaim the art has received, the surprising thing about Zimbabwe's sculptural tradition is its youth. The movement emerged during the late 1950s, when migrant farm workers were encouraged by a few influential artists and farmers to turn to sculpture for a living. Acclaimed artists such as Bernard Takawira and Boira Mteki learned their craft during this period.

A 1961 constitution was formulated to keep whites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterally declared its independence, but the UK did not recognize the act and demanded voting rights for the black African majority in the country (then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrilla uprising finally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (as Zimbabwe) in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the nation's first prime minister, has been the country's only ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominated the country's political system since independence.

The most impressive of these sites is the "Great Zimbabwe" ruins, after which the country is named, located near Masvingo. Evidence suggests that these stone structures were built between the 9th and 13th centuries A.D. by indigenous Africans who had established trading contacts with commercial centers on Africa's southeastern coast.

literature titles Catalogue, Read reviews Versions of Zimbabwe new approaches to literature and culture Edited by Robert Muponde and Ranka Primorac Versions of Zimbabwe: new approaches to literature and culture is a first of its kind: in a turbulent historical moment, the book asks questions about how Zimbabwe's creative literature may be related to its history and politics. The result of a collaboration of scholars situated both in Southern Africa and overseas, the book addresses Zimbabwean literature and culture from angles that have hitherto remained overshadowed. Literary texts imagine multiple versions of Zimbabwe, and only a multiplicity of opinions can do Zimbabwe true justice: Versions of Zimbabwe places a deliberate emphasis on plurality, inclusiveness and the breaking of boundaries. Chapters on internationally celebrated authors such as Yvonne Vera, Dambudzo Marechera and Alexandra Fuller appear alongside discussions of writers not widely known outside Zimbabwe, and critical examinations of literary works in three languages are complemented by discussions of film and autobiography/memoir. In an attempt to end the needless segregation of Zimbabwean writing, several chapters discuss white Zimbabwean authors in comparison to black ones; yet others engage with the neglected topic of Zimbabwean poetry.

Destination Zimbabwe brief wildlife cities conferences ... activities CULTURE AND HISTORY Zimbabwe has rich and diversified cultural beliefs, which blends very well with such wonders as the mighty Victoria Falls. Comparably to the rest of Africa, Zimbabwe’s social life dates back to thousands of years. Much of the goings on of the ancient Zimbabwe prospered without much of documentation. Not much was written about the way of life of the descendants then. With this realisation The Department of National Museums and Monuments through archaeology and oral tradition has managed to trace back the history and cultures of Zimbabwe. From time immemorial, humanity has left its mark to create a cultural landscape that spans a period of over 700 000 years. Wherever one is, this tangible and intangible heritage casts its shadows; whether it be in the form of impressive rock art or the silent but august spiritual Njelele cave in Matobo, be it the mesmerising Great Zimbabwe or the shadows of The Independence arch on the airport road in Harare one message is loud and clear: "Zimbabwe calls upon you for a moment, to reflect on the wonders of human creativity and civilisation". What with the harmonious relations between nature and man that are clearly manifest today.
