Nyamandhlovu

Nyamandlovu also known as Nyamayendlovu is a rural district located roughly 40 km northwest of Bulawayo and in Matabeleland North Province of Zimbabwe.[1] Nyamayendlovu loosely translated means "elephant meat" in the local language, isiNdebele.[2]

The community is predominantly Ndebele. It is dependent on rural farming and cattle rearing because the soil is rich and there is abundant underground water.[3] The land has been redistributed by the government to residents.[4]
