Marondera, Zimbabwe

Marondera is a town in the province of Mashonaland East, in the north-central part of Zimbabwe. It has a population of around 50,000 people (2012 estimate).

Established in 1890, it was originally called Marandell's Kraal but over time the name was corrupted to Marondera. It was one of the first white settlements in then Southern Rhodesia. The settlement was a farming community producing timber, tobacco, maize, beef and dairy products. However the seizure of farms belonging to white farmers for land redistribution caused a total collapse in its farm production.
