Masvingo is the capital of Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. It is located on the south-central part of the country.
Masvingo was founded in 1890 and was one of the earliest colonial settlements in the country. It was originally called Fort Victoria until 1982, when it was renamed Nyanda. However the name did not translate well across the local dialects, so the town was renamed again to Masvingo.
