Everything about Messina South Africa totally explained
Musina (previously called
Messina) is the northernmost city in the
Limpopo province of
South Africa near the
Limpopo River border with
Zimbabwe. It has a population of about 20,000. Its suburb of Beitbridge is 5,000 people.
Iron ore,
coal,
magnetite,
graphite,
asbestos,
diamonds, semi-precious stones and
copper are mined in the region.
The Musina tribe discovered copper and settled here. In the 20th century
European prospectors rediscovered the large copper desposits and established the town of Messina. The spelling of the name was changed to Musina in
2003 to correct the colonial-era misspelling of the name of the Musina people.
Human and animal conflict is a constant conflict in villages within distance to
Musina. The
Limpopo River is a dry river bank which flows with water on average once every seven years in rains when
lichen and other plant species of the desert region come alive. Sometimes, it floods. The low-shrub and thorny tree lands that surround
Musina and thrive in rains are alive with animals in sanctuaries that offer experienced-only camping safari accessible by sand and rock road tracks.
The link with
Zimbabwe has become one of the busiest roads in the world and the busiest in
Africa, due to
black market importers from Zimbabwe and people looking for employment. This is mainly due to thousands crossing (and fleeing) the border into
South Africa every day.
