Tete City
(provincial capital) The
hub of Central Mozambique, with a population of a little over
100,000. The study team operated from its makeshift office
set up in an apartment right in the heart of the downtown. |

Zambezi River
The fourth largest river
in Africa, about 2,740km (1,700mi.) long with 13,300km2 basin
area, flowing from eastern Angola through Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique
into the Indian Ocean. Despite the size, river transport is
limited to small vessels with only 1-2 feet draft due to shifting
shallows. Every rainy season, the river
threatens Tete and other basin areas with floods.

Zambezi Bridge
Graceful
to look at (from distance, that is), the Zambezi Bridge symbolizes the gateway to Central Mozambique. Constructed
some 65 years ago, the bridge, showing signs of wear and tear,
can't hold much more traffic volume than it does now. It will
have to be replaced by a new bridge with a whole lot more
capacity soon or later, should Tete continue to grow as
envisioned by our study. |
