Zvishavane - Travelers get to see the mining town of Zvishavane, and the beautiful scenic hills along the way from Bulawayo.
The town developed as a residential centre for Shabani Mine, which started operations in 1916 to supply asbestos during the First World War.
Growth was slow due to poor communications until the railway reached the town in 1928. Although the asbestos mine is the biggest producer of the mineral in Zvishavane, platinum, gold, beryl, chromite, iron ore at Buchwa and huge deposits of diamond at Murowa are also mined in the area.
The surrounding area is dominated by cattle ranching, while peasant agriculture is practiced in the nearby communal lands of Mberengwa and Buchwa.
