This is one dish that has been around in Zimbabwe since time immemorial. It is particularly popular in regions of the country with Mopane trees. This is essentially were the name of the dish is derived. Not everyone is a fan of madora or macimbi; however it sure has a huge following in Zimbabwe and southern Africa, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zambia included so much that a huge seasonal harvesting industry is in existence.
