First Day in Zimbabwe

It is considerably hotter in Zimbabwe then it was in Chile like ten degrees hotter. Zimbabwe is quite a politically problematic country. They have a population of about 12.3 million. Of these people about 72% live below the poverty line. In Zimbabwe the average life expectancy if you pass 5 years old is 51.4 years. They have an unemployment rate of 80%.



 These are the main religions. Syncretic is a mix between Christian and Indigenous beliefs. They had a population growth of 0.62%. In Zimbabwe they have a lot of natural hazards, these include recurring droughts, floods and severe  storms. The land use in Zimbabwe is: 8.24% arable, 0.33% permanent and 91.43% other. A great amount of the other 91.43% is quarries as Zimbabwe is a gold mine for a lot of metals including gold. The industries in Zimbabwe are: coal, gold, platinum, copper, nickel, tin, clay, metallic and non metallic ores, steel, wood, cement, chemicals, fertilizer, clothing, footwear, food stuffs and beverages. They make and grow: corn, cotton, tobacco, wheat, coffee, sugarcane, peanuts, sheep, goats and pigs. The country has only 317,00 telephones, 423,600 mobiles, 1.14 million radios, 370,00 televisions, 820,000 internet lines and 404 airports.
I am looking forward to venture further into this beautiful countries landscape and wilderness to meet another tribe and try to find another endangered animal.
