The Country - Provincies.
Families straddle the frontiers and cross-border trade is a strong tradition.
The province has enormous economic potential, fuelled in part by the mighty Zambezi river and its tributaries. Before reaching Mozambique the Zambezi crashes spectacularly down the Victoria Falls on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and then powers the Kariba dam s electricity generators. So much power is backed up in the man-made lake behind Cahora Bassa that the dam can provide electricity for South Africa, parts of Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Financial and technical arrangements with South Africa ensure that Cahora Bassa power which flows into the South African grid re-enters Mozambique to light up Maputo city. And the story of the Zambezi s power is not yet complete.
