Masvingo Province

Masvingo Province spans 56,566 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including granite formations, savannah grasslands, and agricultural lands across seven administrative districts.

The region transformed from Victoria Province during British colonial rule to Masvingo Province in 1982, marking a significant shift in Zimbabwe's post-independence identity.

The Karanga people, belonging to the Shona ethnic group, maintain traditional practices throughout the province, while Shangani and Ndebele communities add to regional diversity.

The provincial capital Masvingo City functions as a central transportation hub, connecting major routes between Harare, Mutare, and the South African border.

The Great Zimbabwe ruins within the province stand as Africa's largest stone structures south of the Sahara, dating back to the 11th century.
