Marracuene District is a district of Maputo Province in southern Mozambique. The principal town is Marracuene. The Incomati River flows through the district. Marracuene, then known as ''Vila Luísa'', served as a popular tourist destination in Mozambique's colonial era thanks to a 21-mile beach on the Indian Ocean; the town also served as a key link in the Lourenço Marques Railway System. On February 2, 1895, Marracuene was the site of a decisive battle between Portuguese commander António José Enes and Ronga emperor Gungunyane; the Portuguese defeated the Ronga forces by means of repeating rifles and a machine gun. ==References== *Hance, William A. and Irene S.
