Gwenoro Dam

Gwenoro dam is located inside Ian Douglas Smith's farm, also known as Gwenoro farm. The dam supplies water to the nearby Gweru city and Shurugwi town in Zimbabwe. The dam is constructed on the Runde River (formerly Lundi River, a medium density surbub in Gweru is named after the river (Lundi Park)). The name Gwenoro is derived from a wild animal found in the area known in the local language of Shona as Nhoro (gweNORO), which means a place inhabited by Nhoro. The area is very beautiful and picturesque. The dam is full from January to June. Fish co-operatives are sprouting around the banks of this river. ZIMASCO used to run a mine club but has since stopped. What remains are only buildings.
