Amaveni
Amaveni Township is a high density suburb in Kwekwe, Zimbabwe. It is about three miles west of the city's central business district. The township's name of 'Amaveni' according to one of its first residents, the late Jonas Macela Nkomo (1908–2002), was derived from a Ndebele army's battalion that was called by the same name. The battalion fought during the 1893 Anglo-Ndebele war in Matebeleland region of Zimbabwe.
== History ==
Amaveni is one of the oldest suburbs or townships in Zimbabwe. It was established at the beginning of the 20th century by the Southern Rhodesian colonial authorities as a racially segregated dormitory township for African male labourers. Most of these labourers worked as house servants for white families in the nearby suburbs of Fitchlea, Newtown, Masasa Park and Hillandale or in the newly established shops and factories. Some of the residents also worked for the nearby gold mines of Globe and Phoenix, Gaika and Riverlea, particularly those who could not be housed at the mine workers' compounds. Some of the first buildings in Amaveni were the hostels for male labourers (currently being used as the youth centre, Rugare Old People's Home and informal sector workshops). Today Amaveni's population is made up of people from different professional backgrounds; civil servants, workers from the heavy industries of Zimbabwe Iron and Smelting Company (ZIMASCO), Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company (ZISCO (NewZim Steel )), Lancashire Steel, Sable Chemicals, Haggie Rand Zimbabwe, National Breweries among other industries. A huge proportion of the residents are engaged in the informal sector, mainly fruit and vegetable vending as well as informal gold mining. Amaveni High school is the only high school in the suburb, the pass rates are very low because of the inadequacy of resources, however some pupils excel despite the unfriendly landscape, in fact Amaveni high school boasts with a number of its former students who are now captains of industry and many a former students who are now in various universities across the country.
