Musina

      town, Limpopo province, South Africa. It lies near the Limpopo River, 10 miles (16 km) south of Zimbabwe. Musina is the northernmost town in South Africa.

      Founded in 1904 as Messina, it officially became a town in 1968. In 1993 the closure of its copper mine was offset by the opening of a nearby diamond mine. There is some cultivation along the river valley, and cattle breeding is important. The baobab trees characteristic of the area have been designated a national monument. The population is predominantly black Africans. The town was renamed Musina in 2002. Pop. (2001) city, 28,079; municipality 39,309.
