Manica

Manica lies on the plateau north of the Zambezi, in a region distinct from the better-known Manica beyond the river. Known to Portuguese writers as Manica do Norte, this upland country was associated with the Lenje people. To its south and east lie the valleys of the Kafue and Luangwa, tributaries of the Zambezi. Wooded plateau and river valleys form the setting of this part of central Africa.

The later city of Kabwe lies here.
