The Great Zimbabwe I
South of Masvingo is the oldest stone structure in Africa south of the Sahara. The old ruins of great Zimbabwe (which gave name to the nation as Mugabe took power) were mostly built during the 14th century, and is an impressive sight to walk around in. Long did the British to ascribe the origins of this complex city to anyone but black africans, but the truth was finally established in 1932 by an archaeologist.
