Shangani

Eastern Africa

Shangani is a small farming settlement in Zimbabwe, near the Shangani River on the road between Gweru and Bulawayo. The settlement takes its name from the river and lies on the main route linking the country's second city with the town of Gweru in the Midlands. It is an agricultural place rather than a town, and its position beside the river and the road is what defines it. Few facilities are recorded for it in the encyclopedia article, so this entry stays short.
