Maranda

Eastern Africa

Maranda, locally known as No. 1, is a small business centre on the northern edge of Mwenezi District in Zimbabwe. It is the hometown of the popular musician Dr. Love, Paul Matavire, and of Nikita Mangena, a military leader of the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army in the Second Chimurenga war. The centre is a place of trade, where people come to sell cattle at week-long trade fairs, and it has a clinic and government agriculture and water offices. The land is occupied by the Vapfumbi people, who speak Chipfumbi, and partly by Venda speakers.
