text:
The Mwembeshi Shear Zone is a ductile shear zone about 550 million years old that extends ENE-WSW across Zambia.
In Zambia, it separates the Lufilian Belt to the northwest from the Zambezi Belt to the southeast.
It is associated with a sinistral strike slip movement. The Mwembeshi Shear Zone lies between the Congo craton to the NW and the Kalahari craton to the SE, to the west of the Mozambique Belt, which is on the north and east side of the Kalahari Craton.
It was formed during the Pan-Africa
