Vanad is a village in the province of Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe, located about 12 kilometres north of Mutorashanga in the Mvurwi Range. The village started as a residential settlement for the Vanad chromite mine, operated by ZimAlloys. According to the 1982 Population Census, the village had a population of 2,565. With the closure of the mine, Vanad became a ghost town. It is therefore a settlement whose population and purpose came entirely from the mine and which declined once the mine stopped working.
