I’ve been thinking about industry in Zimbabwe particularly because of the fact that for a long period throughout history, Zimbabwe was famous for it’s expertise in metal working. Remnants of that ancient tradition still exhists in traditional settings as well as in heavy duty industry. Smithing be it goldsmithing, blacksmithing etc is also linked to music - mbira music and agriculture etc etc……..strong traditions around those themes still exhist…which should be interesting to explore. there are many other settlements and cultures which had monumental industry….worrior based societies in weapons manufacturing etc….
