Dombé

Eastern Africa

Dombé is a town and posto on the north bank of the Buzi River in Sussundenga District of Manica Province. During the struggle between Frelimo and Renamo it was a strategic town where government forces kept a heavy mechanized presence, because insurgents repeatedly attacked the road link from Chimoio through Dombé to Espungabera that gives access to Zimbabwe. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Dombé that fall at about 19.98 degrees south and 33.40 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 156 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Dombé keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
