Bulawayo

Bulawayo is Zimbabwe's second-largest city and the capital of Matabeleland North province. It is located in the south-western part of the country and serves as the nation's industrial hub. The city has a population of approximately 650 000 people, making it a significant urban centre in Zimbabwe. Bulawayo's economy is anchored by manufacturing, mining and agriculture, with a strong historical connection to the country's gold and other mineral extraction industries. The city hosts a range of industrial facilities, including metal processing plants, engineering works and food-processing operations. Its strategic location near major mining districts has made it an important service and supply centre for the mining sector. Bulawayo is also a key transport node, with rail and road links connecting Zimbabwe to Botswana and South Africa. The city was founded in the late nineteenth century and has retained much of its colonial-era architecture and wide street layout. Despite economic challenges in recent decades, Bulawayo remains central to Zimbabwe's industrial and mining activities.
