Massi Kessi ({{lang-pt|Macequece}}) is a town near (and almost a suburb of) Mutare in the Manicaland province in Zimbabwe, near the border with Mozambique, on the road and railway to Beira. GeographyMassi Kessi is located at an altitude of 600m. It is surrounded by the gold fields of Manica. HistoryMassi Kessi was the headquarters of the Portuguese in Manica, who are considered the first Europeans to settle this area of the world (starting in 1520). In the 1880s, as the British are eyeing on Portuguese territories in East Africa, the Kingdom sent the artillery captain Joaquim Carlos Paiva de Andrada to restore the Portuguese outposts scattered in the region. He obtained the authorization to extract and sell minerals, and created the Companhia de Moçambique in December 1888. The company reconstructed a fort in Massi Kessi where it established its headquarters.[1] A conflict took place in Massi Kessi on November 5th 1890 and again on May 11 1891 between the Portuguese and the British South Africa Company, which led to the capture of the fort Massi Kessi that had been abandoned by the Portuguese.[2] As a result, the British government pushed through the Manika Treaty on June 11, 1891, that ensured ownership of Manica by the British South Africa Company; until then, the Portuguese colonial area had extended to the Mazoetal river, almost to Harare, Shamv and Mount Darwin.[3] {{coord|18|58|S|32|40|E|type:city(2000)_region:ZW|display=title}}References1. ^{{Cite journal|last=Barnes|first=J.C.|date=March 1975|title=The Battle of Massi Kessi|url=http://www.rhodesia.nl/rhodesiana/volume32.pdf|journal=Rhodesiana|volume=32|pages=|via=}} 2. ^{{Cite book|title=Travel and Adventure in South-East Africa|last=Selous|first=Frederick Courtney|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2011|isbn=9781108031165|location=|pages=385}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Stout72-t23-body-d7-d26.html|title=The Portuguese at Massi Kessi|last=Stout|first=Robert|date=|website=Nzetc.victoria.ac.nz|access-date=28 February 2018}} External links
