Mozambique–South Africa border : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mozambique–South Africa border
The border between Mozambique and South Africa is divided into two segments, separated by the kingdom of Swaziland. The northern segment, which is long, runs north-south along the Lebombo Mountains from Zimbabwe to Swaziland. The southern segment, which is long,〔 runs east-west across Maputaland from Swaziland to the Indian Ocean. ==Geography== The tripoint with Zimbabwe is located at Crooks' Corner, in the Limpopo River either at or very close to its confluence with the Luvuvhu River. The border runs in a straight line from this tripoint to the Shingwedzi River, and then along a series of straight lines joining beacons generally along the top of the eastern slope of the Lebombo Mountains.〔 It crosses the Olifants, Sabie and Komati rivers. This segment of the border terminates at the northern Swaziland tripoint at Mpundweni Beacon near Namaacha. The southern Swaziland tripoint is situated at Abercorn Drift in the Usutu River (Maputo River), where the Mozambique–Swaziland border along the Lebombo Mountains meets the river. From here the border follows the Usuthu to its former confluence with the Pongola River; the location of the confluence has changed since the border was demarcated.〔 The border then runs in an easterly direction along straight lines joining beacons generally at the same latitude as the Usutu-Pongola confluence (approximately 26° 52′ South).〔 It meets the Indian Ocean below Monte Ouro peak, just to the south of Ponta do Ouro.
