About Gweru

In the geographical heart of Zimbabwe, Gweru serves as the main hub of an agricultural region known for its cattle and crop farming. It was named “The Steep Place” by the indigenous Ndebele people due to the high banks of the Gweru River and was the site of a 19th-century British military outpost. More recently, it’s been nicknamed the “City of Progress”, with several colleges and universities located here.
