Goromonzi is a rural community in East Mashonaland, Zimbabwe, 20miles southeast of the country's capital city of Harare.[2] The people are principally from the Shona tribe. The village serves as a trading centre for commercial, communal and co-operative farms. It is also the administrative centre for the Chinyika communal land and Goromonzi District. The community is located on a subsidiary road north of the A3 highway to Harare.[3] Goromonzi Hill, at 1581m (5,187feet), is just southeast of the town.
