KaTembe, Administrative district in Maputo, Mozambique.
KaTembe extends across the southern shore of Maputo Bay, forming a peninsula that connects to the mainland through newly developed infrastructure networks.
The district remained relatively isolated until 2018 when the construction of Africa's longest suspension bridge established a direct connection to central Maputo.
The population of KaTembe includes members of the Tembe ethnic group, who maintain connections to both Swazi royal lineage and Tsonga traditions.
The Maputo-KaTembe Bridge reduces travel time to central Maputo from several hours by ferry to just minutes by car or public transportation.
The district contains five distinct settlements - Chali, Chamissava, Guachene, Incassane, and Inguide - each contributing to its administrative structure.
