Mwenezi

The Mwenezi flows southeast through a dry valley towards the Limpopo, its waters rising chiefly with the summer rains. In the country near the Mateke hills, an old stone enclosure stands by the Bumburudza, one of the Mwenezi's tributaries. Its walls and pottery belong to the Zimbabwe tradition. The site saw several periods of settlement, including the thirteenth century and a later occupation beginning in the seventeenth, showing how people returned to this landscape over the centuries.
