Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa, bordered by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the north, and Mozambique to the east. The country has a population of approximately 14.4 million people, with the majority living in rural areas. Zimbabwe gained its independence from British colonial rule in 1980 and has been governed by the Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) since then. Zimbabwe's economy has faced many challenges in recent years, including hyperinflation, a shortage of foreign currency, and political instability. Agriculture is the largest sector of the economy, with the majority of the population engaged in subsistence farming. The country is also rich in minerals such as gold, platinum, and diamonds. Despite its economic struggles, Zimbabwe remains a popular tourist destination, known for its wildlife, natural beauty, and historical landmarks such as Great Zimbabwe, a 15th-century stone city that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
