Chitungwiza is an urban centre and town of Harare Province in Zimbabwe.

History

As of the 2022 census, Chitungwiza had a population of 371,244.[1]

There are two main highways which connect the city to Harare[2] namely Seke road and Chitungwiza road.

The Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex, built in 1995 for the All Africa Games, is no longer functional, and serves as a music and church venue.[3]

Informal settlements

Following the civil war, people moved to urban areas. Chitungwiza grew rapidly and the squatted area of Chirambahuyo alone had a population of 30,000 in 1979.[4] Chirambahuyo was demolished by the authorities in 1982 and the inhabitants squatted elsewhere in the city in areas such as Mayambara.[5]

Areas in Chitungwiza were destroyed by Operation Murambatsvina in 2005.[6] By the mid-2010s, the number of people squatting in informal settlements was growing.[7] In 2020, the local authorities abandoned their plans to demolish squatter homes in Nyatsime, Seke, St Mary’s and Zengeza, after a court order was requested.[8]

Notable people

The Town Clerk in 2016 was Dr George Makunde, who complained that a reduction in his wage from $10,000 per month to $4,500 per month had put him in difficulties.[10] In 2019 and 2020, Dr. Tonderai Kasu served as the Acting Town Clerk.[11] Emmanuel Makandiwa and Alick Macheso are from Chitungwiza.
