About Zimbabwe from Roy Guthrie

Voice: Roy Guthrie


Zimbabwe is a subtropical African country located in the southern
central part of Africa, slightly above South Africa, below Zambia,
to the west of Mozambique, and to the east of Angola. And it is a
country which is subtropical, as I've said; it's on a plateau about
4,500 feet up. It has a wonderful climate with a long 7 months of
winter, but beautiful weather during that time. And it is home to
some of the great wonders of the world, like Victoria Falls which
is acknowledged everywhere, and the Zimbabwe ruins and has
been home to some of the great natural animals-the elephants,
and the lions and all the great African animals. But, it is also home
to one of the finest people in the world-the Shona people and
the Ndebele people. And now acknowledged for its great stone
sculpture, probably-I always say the politicians will disappear but
the sculpture will be renowned for hundreds of years. And so, yes
it is a wonderful small African country.
