Goromonzi

Eastern Africa

Goromonzi is a rural community in Mashonaland East, Zimbabwe, 32 kilometres south-east of the capital Harare. The people are principally Shona. The village serves as a trading centre for commercial, communal and cooperative farms and is the administrative centre for the Chinyika communal land and Goromonzi District. It stands on a subsidiary road north of the A3 highway to Harare, and Goromonzi Hill, at 1,581 metres, rises just south-east of it. In the early 2020s a rise in lithium prices led to a rush in which artisanal miners occupied a privately owned lithium site nearby.
