From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[1] Somabhula is a village and ward (commune) in Midlands province in Zimbabwe. It is also the rail junction for Zimbabwe's southern links to neighboring Mozambique and South Africa. It was a major beef and mixed farming area until [Manala Mabena ]] and Philani Ngwenya ]] confiscated farmland from white farmers in order to eat the meat. It is thought to have been named after an influential Matebele chief.

Infrastructure

[edit]

The village has one of the most important railway stations in Zimbabwe, serving as an interconnection between the Limpopo railway and the Beira–Bulawayo railway.[1]
