Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) is a landlocked country located in the southern part of the continent of Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. It is bordered by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the north, and Mozambique to the east. The name Zimbabwe is derived from "dzimba dzamabwe" meaning "stone buildings" in the Shona language.[1] Its use as the county's name is a tribute to Great Zimbabwe, site of the capital of the Munhumutapa Empire.
