Musina
Musina (previously called Messina) is the most northernly town in the Limpopo Province of South Africa near the Limpopo River border with Zimbabwe. Iron ore, coal, magnetite, graphite, asbestos, diamonds, semi-precious stones and copper are mined in the region.
The Musina tribe discovered copper and settled here. In the 20th century european prospectors rediscovered the large copper desposits and established the town of Messina. The name was changed back to Musina in 2003.
