    I visited Mutare three or four times and in each visit I stayed for 3 to 4 days during 2010-2015 on the invitation of African University at Mutare . People both in the University and city are very friendly. It is paradise on earth .Not only climate is fine but very clean.

      It grew in population during the diamond rush and overtook Gweru around 2012. Infrastructure wise Gweru is arguably still ahead. Although most of the industry has shut down, Gweru has more industry and a slightly bigger CBD unlike Mutare that has just one long street.

    I live in mutare, the most disappointing thing are the roads, we never used to see dust on them, they always used to paint lines but now they stopped. The roads are buggered, growing up it was an amazing town with a very diverse population, there were many whites, Indians, blacks and coloured people. City council service delivery was on point. But oh well. It's still an amazing place to live. The weather is always mild and the people are amazing. People don't throw litter everywhere, water is clean. You did a great video.

      @MrZim263  3 года назад +4

      the 2 cities are almost equal. Hence they gained town status the same year(1914) and city status the same yearI(1971). If you look at historical censuses Gweru(Gwelo) overtook Mutare(Umtali) in the 1940s. However in the 2000s Mutare has had higher growth rates and by population is now larger than Gweru.

      @@tendaimaguwu533not true that Mutare has always been the third. Although Mutare recently overtook Gweru in population, officially, Gweru is still the third biggest city. Before the economy collapsed, there is no way Mutare would be bigger than Gweru. There is a real large heavy industrial area in Gweru that you will see even today if you visit the city. Mutare always had light industry, the biggest of which was Mutare board and paper mill. There were several large productive companies in Gweru and the CBD is not just one long street like Mutare. When the economy was still strong, Gweru had the highest per capita industry in the country, even ahead of Bulawayo. Talk of Zimalloys, Zimglass, Bata, Zimcast, Anchor yeast, David Whitehead, Kariba Batteries (PowerCells), all of the headquartered in Gweru.
