Gadzema

Eastern Africa

Gadzema is a village in Mashonaland West province, Zimbabwe, about 110 kilometres south-west of Harare on the main Harare to Bulawayo railway line. The village grew up around the railway station built on the line and was named after a nearby hill, Ganidzima Hill, which means a shining place. Gold was discovered in the area, and the Giant Mine opened in 1905 but is now closed. The station closed in 1920 and is now only operated as a siding.
