Rusape is an important town in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe, located about 100 kilometers south of the capital Harare. As the capital city, it is not only the political and economic center of the Midlands Province, but also a key hub connecting the north and south of Zimbabwe.
Rusape is situated on the Zimbabwean plateau, with an average altitude of about 1,400 meters above sea level, and has a temperate savannah climate with an average annual temperature of 18°C. The city is surrounded by distinctive hills. Surrounded by a unique hilly landscape, the reservoir formed by the Rusape Dam provides the region with important water and landscape resources.
The economy is based on agriculture and mining, with the surrounding area producing tobacco, maize and other crops, and chromite mining. In recent years, manufacturing and tourism have gradually developed, and the region has become a distribution center for goods based on transportation advantages.
The town retains its colonial architecture, and natural attractions such as Mt. Mthoko attract hikers. Annual agricultural fairs and traditional cultural events showcase the local character of the Shona people, and the area around the Rusape Dam has become a popular destination for recreational fishing.
