Musongati is a town in the Commune of Musongati, Rutana Province, in south-eastern Burundi.
Musongati is located in Musongati Commune, Rutana Province, approximately 177km (110miles), by road, south-east of Bujumbura, the financial capital and largest city in Burundi.[1] This is approximately 78.5km (48.8miles), by road, south-east of Gitega, the capital city of Burundi.[2]
Musongati is the location of significant deposits of nickel, platinum, palladium, copper, gold and iron. The minerals are developed by Burundi Musongati Mining (BMM), a public-private-partnership company, co-owned by Kermas Corporation (85 percent) and by the Government of Burundi (15 percent).[3]
It is on the route of the proposed railway from Tanzania to the Burundi capital Gitega.[4] Therefore, there are unlimited contentions whether they should change the route since Musongati has Nickel deposit and has also numerous chutes of water.[3]
