What can you tell me about Zimbabwe? 
 Zimbabwe was formerly known as Southern Rhodesia, Rhodesia, and Zimbabwe Rhodesia. The term Rhodesia derived from the surname of Cecil Rhodes, the primary instigator of British colonisation of the territory during the late 19th century and was perceived by African nationalists as inappropriate because of its colonial origin and connotations. 
 Could you tell me more about the etymology? 
 I sure can. The name Zimbabwe stems from a Shona term for Great Zimbabwe, an ancient ruined city in the country's south-east whose remains are now a protected site. Major factions in this camp included the Zimbabwe African National Union (which was led by Robert Mugabe from 1975) and from the Zimbabwe African People's Union (which was led by Joshua Nkomo from its founding in the early 1960s). 
 That's really cool! Do you know about its demographics? 
 I sure do. According to the United Nations World Health Organization, the life expectancy for men was 56 years and the life expectancy for women was 60 years. Up to one million Ndebele may have left the country over the last five years, mainly for South Africa. White Zimbabweans are mostly of British origin, but there are also Afrikaner, Greek, Portuguese, French, and Dutch communities. Ancestral worship is the most practised non-Christian religion, involving spiritual intercession; the mbira dzavadzmiu, which means the voice of the ancestors, an instrument related to many lamellophones ubiquitious throughout Africa, is central to many ceremonial proceedings. 
 Wow, that's really cool. Can you tell me more about the demographics? 
 Sure thing! Some 3,000,000 of their population left for South Africa and Botswana. Most emigration has been to the United Kingdom, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. 
 That seems like such a large amount! Can you give me another fact about either the etymology or demographics? 
 I sure can! A further alternative, which was put forward by nationalists in Matabeleland, had been Matopos, referring to the Matopos Hills to the south of Bulawayo. Zimbabwe is the biggest trading partner of South Africa on the continent. In 2016 Zimbabwe allowed trade in the United States dollar and various other currencies such as the rand (South Africa) the pula (Botswana) , the euro, and the Pound Sterling (UK.). Shona is spoken by 70 percent of the population, Ndebele by 20 percent. 
 Cool. Thank you for chatting! 
 You're welcome! Have a good day!
