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.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
