Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in Southern Africa bordering Zambia, Mozambique, South Africa and Botswana. It has a population of around 14 million people who primarily speak Shona, Ndebele and English. The country has a semi-presidential republic government system and relies on exports of minerals and imports of food, fuel and machinery to drive its economy. Moving forward, Zimbabwe will need to focus on improving its infrastructure and economic stability.
