Chókwe, Mozambique: an important city in Zambezia Province
Chókwe is located in Zambezia Province in southern Mozambique and is the administrative center of Chókwe District, about 220 km from the capital Maputo. Situated along the Limpopo River, the city is strategically located and serves as a trade hub for the surrounding agricultural areas.
Historical and Economic Overview
Shaukwe was an important settlement under Portuguese rule during the colonial period and gradually developed into an agricultural center after independence. The economy is predominantly agricultural, producing corn, cotton and citrus, with large-scale farming supported by the irrigation system of the Limpopo Valley. In recent years, small businesses and services have also emerged.
Culture and Transportation
The local population is mostly Saukwe and retains its traditional customs and language. The city is well connected to Maputo and Beira via the EN1 national road, but infrastructure remains to be developed. Saukoue attracts a small number of tourists with its rustic countryside and riverside views, and is a window into Mozambique's interior.
