Located 192 km south of Harare along the Harare - Masvingo highway. Approx 100 km from Masvingo. The main area of employment was Athens Mine which mined gold but has been since closed down in the 90's due to mine shaft collapsing. The main site is a huge chimney on top of a hill near the mine built in the early 19th century and visible from miles away. The chimney is approx 200 ft tall but this is not confirmed. There are huge cyanite dumps around the town as by-product from the gold mining. Now dominated by cattle ranching and agriculture as means of community support. Formally known as Umvuma.
