Zimbabwe has a population of about 12 million and covers 391 000 km2. The two main population groups are the Shona (71%) and the Ndebele (14%). Approximately 92% of the population is literate – until recently the highest percentage in Africa. More than 7 million Zimbabweans associate themselves with various Christian churches, while 26% adhere to traditional religions.
The unstable political situation in Zimbabwe since the 1990s, the accompanying economic decline, high unemployment, AIDS and approximately a quarter of the population who live and work outside Zimbabwe, however, present huge challenges to the church.
