Zimbabwe : Life Style

Zimbabwe has inherited many traits from its colonial past. The white population reproduced the sport-based culture of colonial Britain and has produced world-class sports figures, competing at the highest level in rugby, cricket, and golf. Africans tend to be more interested in football (soccer). Zimbabwe’s tourist attractions, such as Victoria Falls and the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, help to make it a leisure-oriented society. The African middle and upper classes tend to imitate the lifestyle of the old colonial ruling class, while younger Africans are drawn to the popular urban styles of South Africa. European-style clothing and housing are fashionable, although orthodox rondavels (round thatched huts made of wood) are preferred in rural areas.
