Kildonan is a village in Mashonaland West province, Zimbabwe. It was known for its copper mine, but around the year 2000, as copper mining declined, mines across Zimbabwe were shut down. Along with Mhangura, Sutton, Vanad and Shackleton, the mining towns of this group became ghost towns, changing from thriving communities into impoverished small villages. The article connects the start of production at the mine to the year 1971, so the village's history is the short arc of a copper town that grew with its mine and shrank after the mine closed.
