Madziwa Mine

Eastern Africa

Madziwa Mine is a village that grew up next to a gold mine of the same name in the province of Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe. It is located 32 kilometres north of Shamva and about 100 kilometres north-west of Harare. According to the 1982 Population Census, the village had a population of 4,617. The main mineral mined at Madziwa is nickel. The village is therefore a mining community whose name, size and purpose all derive from the mine at its centre, in the countryside north of the town of Shamva.
