Mazowe

Mazowe is a village in the Mashonaland Central province of Zimbabwe. Its name, which is also spelled Mazoe, is explained in the Wikipedia article by the writer Phillippa Berlyn, who wrote in 1970 that the word is a corruption of manzou or nyanzou, meaning the place of the elephants. The article is short and gives no population, founding date or economic detail, so this entry records only what it supports: the settlement's location in a Zimbabwean province, the origin of its name, and a short list of notable people connected with the place, among them John Bredenkamp, Fortune Chasi, Paul Tangi Mhova Mkondo, Auxillia Mnangagwa, Grace Mugabe and Joseph Msika.
