Draft:Zimpeto
Comment: This neighborhood does not meet notability guidelines. Even though a mega-stadium was built here, the All-Africa competition was held in Maputo, not Zimpeto, which means that it does not make the neighborhood notable. The children's center also doesn't seem notable as the only source is a primary source. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter")11:27, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
