Zavala

Africa

Zavala, also known as Quissico, is a city in Mozambique's Inhambane Province and the capital of Zavala District, on the Mozambique Channel coast along the EN1 road. The area is known for its coastal lagoons and for the musicianship of the local Chopi people, who have a strong presence there. Notable natives include Cardinal Alexandre José Maria dos Santos, former Archbishop of Maputo, and the artist known as Kester, creator of the Throne of Weapons sculpture held by the British Museum. No population figure for the city was given in the source consulted, so none is stated here.
