Vubachikwe

Eastern Africa

Vubachikwe, also written Vumbachigwe, is a village and a gold mine in Gwanda District, Matabeleland South province, Zimbabwe. It lies along the Mtshabezi River about ten kilometres north-west of the town of Gwanda. According to the 1982 Population Census, the village had a population of 2,077. The village grew as the residential and commercial centre for the employees of the Vubachikwe gold mine, so its existence and its modest size both come from the mine rather than from any older market or administrative function in the district.
