Zimbabwe (IPA: ), officially the Republic of Zimbabwe, and formerly known as the Republic of Rhodesia, is a landlocked country in the southern part of the continent of Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. It borders South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the north-west, and Mozambique to the east. The name Zimbabwe derives from "dzimba dzemabwe" meaning "houses of stone " in the Shona language. http://www.history.und.ac.za/ebe1mhm/zimbabwe.htm Zimbabwe at History Department of UKZN] www.history.und.ac.za (accessed 03 April 2006) Its use as the country's name is a tribute to Great Zimbabwe, site of the capital of the Munhumutapa Empire.
History
The earliest inhabitants of the area were Khoisan hunter-gatherers. They were largely replaced by Bantu tribes during a series of migrations. The southern part of the country was named Matabeleland after the Ndebele tribe who occupied the area in the early 1800's under a loose confederation of Ndebele-speaking tribes headed by the Khumalo tribe under their chief Mzilikazi. Resentment has simmered ever since between this group of peoples and the Shona-speaking tribes in Mashonaland, the northern part of Zimbabwe.
