Mabalane

Eastern Africa

Mabalane is a town on the Limpopo River. A prison camp and garrison stood there during the revolution, and floods in February 1996 partly submerged the town and twelve villages, causing serious damage. Before independence it was called Vila Pinto Teixeira. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Mabalane that fall at about 23.63 degrees south and 32.52 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 98 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Mabalane keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
