The capital and largest city is Harare . A country of roughly 16 million people, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, with English, Shona, and Ndebele the most commonly used . </P> <P> Since the 11th century, present - day Zimbabwe has been the site of several organised states and kingdoms as well as a major route for migration and trade . The British South Africa Company of Cecil Rhodes first demarcated the present territory during the 1890s; it became the self - governing British colony of Southern Rhodesia in 1923 . In 1965, the conservative white minority government unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia . The state endured international isolation and a 15 - year guerrilla war with black nationalist forces; this culminated in a peace agreement that established universal enfranchisement and de jure sovereignty as Zimbabwe in April 1980 . Zimbabwe then joined the Commonwealth of Nations, which it withdrew from in December 2003 . It is a member of the United Nations, the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). It was once known as the "Jewel of Africa" for its prosperity . </P>
