Lalapanzi is a town in Midlands province, Zimbabwe, which straddles the Great Dyke, the mineral rich geological formation that runs north to south down the centre of the country. The name is also applied to the areas surrounding the town. Chromium mining is common around Lalapanzi but has not led to major benefits for the local people. Two of the largest mines have been operated by Lonrho and by Zimasco, and from the 1990s smaller independent miners have accounted for larger volumes of ore leaving the area, which has led to environmental problems.
