The full name of Zimbabwe is the Republic of Zimbabwe. The official language is English, because, like Zambia, it was once part of the British empire. The official religion, again like Zambia, is Christianity. A Zimbabwe dollar is worth 100 US cents. One thing they export is Tobacco.

My questions:

*what games do they play?

*what is Zimbabwe’s area?

*what isthe family structure?

These are the facts I have learned:

Economy:

The main currency, like the dollar in the U.S.A., is the Kwacha. Copper makes up of 80% of Zambia’s export earnings.

Power Structure:

Currently, Zambia has been a Democracy, meaning the president is chosen by the people.

Village Living Quarters:

Villagers live in circular, grass-roofed homes. This does not go for all the people of Zambia.

Religions:

The official religion of Zambia is Christianity, but there are still older traditions in the Villages.

What I would like to know:

*What do other countries do with the copper after it has been shipped to them?

*Who is the current president of Zambia?

*How may languages are spoken in Zambia?
