Redcliff, Zimbabwe

Redcliff is a town in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe, about 219 kilometres northeast of Bulawayo, in an extremely iron-rich area. It has relied on steel production since it was founded in the early twentieth century, and the Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company, founded in 1942 as RISCO and based in Redcliff, was its largest employer until it closed in 2008. The town has no direct water source and is supplied through the Kwekwe network. It has a record in sport, and its Zisco athletes included relay runners who represented Zimbabwe at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. The 2022 census counted 41,526 people.
