Marondera: Marondera Aerodrome

Marondera has served as an administrative and commercial centre in Zimbabwe’s Mashonaland East Province since the early twentieth century. On the Highveld east of Harare, it stands along the rail and road route leading toward Mutare and Mozambique. As the provincial capital, it supports a broad farming district where tobacco and maize are important crops. The town was formerly known as Marandellas, a name still encountered in older records. Marondera is also known across Zimbabwe for Peterhouse, an independent school founded in 1955. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Mashonaland East.
