Gwembe

Gwembe is a small town in the Southern Province of Zambia, with a population of about 2000 people according to English Wikipedia. It is part of Gwembe District, which lies by the Lake Kariba shoreline, and it used to be the district headquarters until that moved to Munyumbwe, some 30 kilometres south-east of the town. Cotton growing has been a main agricultural activity in the district, influenced by a cotton ginnery plant that employed many residents, and since 2017 the local people have also grown maize for food and income. Most residents are subsistence farmers. GeoNames records Gwembe as a populated place at about 16.498 degrees south and 27.607 degrees east. Zambia has no coastline, so the town lies inland.
