About Kwekwe
Kwekwe is a multicultural city. In and around the city one is assured to come across Shona, Ndebele, Chewa, Venda, Tonga language and Nambya speaking people. It is a centre for steel and fertiliser production in the country. The name stems from the Zulu word "isikwekwe", which means "scurvy", "mange" or "scab". The area has attempted to diversify its economic base to education, tourism, and services, attracting a growing campus of Midlands State University. The town is situated on Zimbabwe's Highveld at an altitude of 1,220 metres (4,000 ft), above sea level. It is located in the tropics but its high altitude modifies this to a warm temperate or humid subtropical climate. Kwekwe was founded in 1898 as a gold mining town. Like much of the Midlands, KweKwe owes its prosperity to the Great Dy
