Munyati

Eastern Africa

Munyati, formerly Umniati, is an estate in Midlands province, Zimbabwe, owned by the Zimbabwe Power Company, a subsidiary of ZESA. It lies about 29 kilometres north of Kwekwe on the main Harare to Bulawayo road, which was about 5 kilometres away from the village centre. In 1938 a coal-fired power station was built in the area and the village was established to house the personnel. It has a few shops, a primary and a secondary school and a football team called Tigers. Gold, copper, stibnite and tungsten are mined in the area.
