Mukumbura

Mukumbura is a village in Mt Darwin District, Mashonaland Central Province, Zimbabwe, and a border crossing between Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The article describes it as a remote and marginal area, classed as poverty-stricken and limited in socio-economic growth, where women buy secondhand goods in Mozambique to resell in Zimbabwe and men and women run small businesses to get by. Its main economic activities are livestock farming and crop production, largely for subsistence, with millet, maize, tobacco, sorghum, cowpeas and beans grown on sandy, acidic soils in a region of semi-extensive farming.
