City

Beitbridge

Eastern Africa

Beitbridge is a border town in Matabeleland South Province, Zimbabwe, just north of the Limpopo River and about one kilometre from the Alfred Beit Road Bridge that carries the road into South Africa. The A6 highway runs from it to Bulawayo, 321 kilometres away, and the A4 to Masvingo and Harare. Its border post is described as the busiest road border post in Southern Africa, and local jobs come mainly from freight, retail, construction, customs and the police, alongside a large informal sector of vending and cross-border trading. The 2012 census gave 41,767 residents and the 2022 census counted 58,574.
