Mozambique is a southeastern African country that straddles the space between South Africa and Tanzania. It borders Tanzania, South Africa, Eswatini, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi. The country has a Bantu population with heritage from Arab and Portuguese trade adventures on the Indian Ocean.
Mozambique was named so by the Portuguese colonialists after the Island of Mozambique that blocks Mossuril Bay from the Mozambique Channel to the north of the country.
