Beitbridge District

The town lies 6 km ESE of the confluence of the Bubye River and the Limpopo on the border with South Africa.

[1] The town has a population of approximately 43,000 and serves a district of 100,000 people.

An estimated 60 percent of Beitbridge's population is female, reflecting extensive male migration to South Africa.

The informal settlement houses have since been destroyed by the 2005 Operation Murambatsvina (Move the Rubbish), a large-scale Zimbabwean government campaign to forcibly clear slum areas across the country.

Recreational facilities are limited in low-income areas, consisting largely of bars and soccer pitches.
