Zimbabwe has some of the most incredible wildlife and natural wonders globally. It has a long, rich history, and the country’s human settlement dated back more than 100,000 years ago. The country is also home to great archaeological sites that preserve local culture and heritage. There are 16 official languages in Zimbabwe. This country holds the Guinness World Record for having the most official languages. Zimbabwe was the last African nation to gain independence from British colonialism. Zimbabwe celebrates Independence Day on the 18th of April, in 1980. Drought and white emigration severely damaged the economy during the 1980s, which was already strained by the need for massive government spending in the long-neglected fields of education, health, and social service for the majority Black population.
Below are some stunning vintage photos from lindsaybridge that show Zimbabwe in 1968.
