Mount Nyangani. Mount Nyangani is the highest mountain in Zimbabwe at 2,592 metres or 8,504 feet. The mountain is located within Nyanga National Park in Nyanga District, about 110??km (68??mi) north-northeast of Mutare. The summit lies atop a small outcrop of rock around 40 metres or 130 feet above the surrounding area. The remainder of the peak is a broad moor of mainly rolling hills and plateau with an area of about 8??km2. The edges of this plateau then fall steeply to the east and west sides. The mountain vegetation is largely composed of heath around the summit plateau with evergreen forest along the wetter eastern slopes and grassland to the western side. Annual rainfall totals are high but long spells of dry weather occur during the winter period of May to August. Due to its relatively low elevation and tropical location, snowfall is very rare; the last recorded snowfall occurred in August 1935.

Zimbabwe Sign Language. Several Zimbabwean sign languages developed independently among deaf students in different Zimbabwean schools for the deaf starting in the 1940s. It is not clear how many languages they are, as little research has been done; Masvingo School Sign is known to be different from that of other schools, but each school apparently has a separate sign language, and these are different from the community language or languages used outside of the schools. "Sign language", without further clarification, became one of Zimbabwe's official national languages with the Constitution of 2013.
