Zvishavane: A tale of two mining companies | The Sunday Mail
Located some 97km west of Masvingo on the Masvingo-Bulawayo road, two major roads link the town with Gweru, about 121km to the north, and with Mberengwa, 27km southwest. Developing as a residential centre for an asbestos mine which started operations in 1916, Zvishavane was granted municipal status in 1968.
