Columbina Rural Service Center

Eastern Africa

Columbina Rural Service Center is a township in Zhombe, Zimbabwe, 95 kilometres north-west of Kwekwe and 67 kilometres south-west of Kadoma. It lies near the now defunct Empress Nickel Mine, about 4 kilometres to the south-west. The Blue Gum mine is on the Gokwe side of the Ngondoma River, but according to maps made before 1980 the original Blue Gum was at this place, at the Samambwa to Zhombe East road turn-off, which is why search engines often point to it as Blue Gum, Zimbabwe. The centre is in Mahogo Village.
