Musina (previously called Messina) is the northernmost city in the Limpopo Province of South Africa near the Limpopo River border with Zimbabwe. It has a population of about 120,000. Its suburb of Beitbridge is 5,000 people. Iron ore, coal, magnetite, graphite, asbestos, diamonds, semi-precious stones and copper are mined in the region.

The Musina tribe discovered copper and settled here. In the 20th century European prospectors rediscovered the large copper desposits and established the town of Messina. The spelling of the name was changed to Musina in 2003.
