Gokomere is a place in Zimbabwe, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from Masvingo, known for its rock art and pottery traditions dating from 300 to 650 AD. The ancient Bantu people who inhabited the area of Great Zimbabwe around the 4th century AD probably built the complex between 1000 and 1200 AD. The Gokomere traded via ancient trading routes over the Chimanimani Mountains on the current Zimbabwe-Mozambique border with the Swahili civilization on the Kenyan and Tanzanian coast. This group gave rise to the maShona and the waRozwi tribes. They may also comprise the majority of the African ancestry of the Lemba people, who claim descent from the ancient Jews via Sena in Yemen, with some genetic evidence to back this up.

  • Gokomere, heute Gokomere Mission, ist ein Ort in Simbabwe acht Kilometer entfernt von Masvingo. Gokomere ist wegen seiner Felsmalereien bekannt, die vermutlich aus der Zeit 300 bis 650 stammen, doch die Datierung ist unsicher. Sie wurden 1927 vom , S.J. (1866–1944) in einem Feld mit riesigen Granitfelsen entdeckt. Dort fand er etwa 30 Zeichnungen, regengeschützt unter überhängenden Wänden. Gokomere wirft Fragen hinsichtlich der Ruinen von Groß-Simbabwe auf, das etwa um 1000 erbaut wurde. Hier scheinen Jäger und Sammler, eisenzeitliche Ackerbaukultur und arbeitsteilige Gesellschaften direkt aufeinander zu stoßen. Die Gokomere/Ziwa-Tradition wird archäologisch der Eisenzeit zugeordnet mit charakteristischer Töpferei und Kupfergebrauch. Dieser Tradition werden auch Funde im unteren Sambesibassin in Mosambik bei Sena, und Matola zugeordnet. (de)

The modern descendants of the waRozwi are called the Barotse. They speak the Karanga language and second languages including English in Zimbabwe and Sena, Ndau dialect of Shona, and Portuguese in Mozambique. Gokomere also refers to a school located close to the town of Masvingo. (en)
