Great Zimbabwe Zimbabwe is located in southern Africa. The climate, the people, the lifestyle and their government; they are all so different from what we see and experience every day. Zimbabwe is a whole other way of life. They eat different foods, wear different clothes and even have different home structures. Zimbabwe is not too big but not that small either. It is slightly larger than the state of Colorado and has no coast. The climate is beautiful. The climate is Mediterranean with a very rainy summer season. Even though Zimbabwe has a warm climate and abundant rainfall, agricultural production is very low. Lately they have experienced unemployment and high inflation. Zimbabwe has some of the most beautiful waterfalls and landscapes. Zimbabwe is home to one of Africa's richest natural resources, and most of this abundance has yet to be adequately utilized to maximize economic growth and stability. Zimbabwe is located in the heart of South Africa. This is a landlocked nation, but that doesn't mean it uses less water or needs it less. Water is one of the key factors to their success. They have a dam blocking the Zimbabwe River to the north. They also have another river called Limpopo to the south. This gives them most of the power needed in their country. Zimbabwe is home to the famous Victoria Falls, located in the north-west of the country. Located in the south-east of Zimbabwe, there is an ancient site inhabited in the Stone Age and is now a major tourist attraction. The people of Zimbabwe are mostly coloured. Men and women have different roles in their lives. Both women and men work on small farms in communal areas, and women are responsible for housework. About seventy percent of women are small farmers, compared to thirty-five percent of men. Even if it's Africa, don't assume they have a special language. They actually speak English. However, there are some who live in communal areas and who speak their native languages (the most common being Shona and Ndebele). Their beliefs are conflicting, but Christianity is mostly common and dominant; some believe strongly in sorcerers. 24% practice traditional beliefs and 25% practice Christianity. Zimbabwe suffers from high inflation and unemployment. Their economy has a daily inflation rate that has climbed as high as ninety-eight percent, doubling nearly every twenty-four hours..
