Centenary, Zimbabwe

Centenary is a village in Mashonaland Central province in Zimbabwe. On June 21, 2001, Centenary was a pilgrimage for those who wanted to see the total solar eclipse, as it was one of the few areas of Zimbabwe that witnessed it.

Economy

Centenary is relatively a young agricultural district of Zimbabwe (Formerly Rhodesia). It was opened up from virgin bush in 1952 primarily for the production of tobacco. The aromatic qualities of this tobacco made it a prominent growing area. Tobacco contributed to the development of roads, schools, clinics and the later building of administrative buildings in Centenary Township. The town is controlled by the Muzarabani Rural District Council which is headed by the Chief executive officer of the council. The council collects levies from farmers and different business people to fund its activities and improve amenities in the area.

Centenary has an active and skilled labour force employed by the government of the republic of Zimbabwe at the District Administrator's office in the government complex. The unemployment rate is low since the majority is employed in big commercial farmlands.

Farmlands which are close to the town in a ten kilometers radius include Mwonga farm near the aerodrome, Sable heights, and other farmlands in the Msengezi area. A famous township called Gatu is the main centre for formal and informal business where farmers can sell their horticultural produce from as early as 6am CAT - 8pm CAT. Since the introduction of the multi currency system the US$ circulates more than the local currency.

The post office offers a forex bureau de exchange services. There are no other commercial banks in the area except the mobile money transfare agents registered for that business.
