Goromonzi is a rural community in East Mashonaland, Zimbabwe, 20 miles (32 km) southeast of the country's capital city of Harare.[2] The people are principally from the Shona tribe. The village serves as a trading centre for commercial, communal and co-operative farms. It is also the administrative centre for the Chinyika communal land and Goromonzi District. The community is located on a subsidiary road north of the A3 highway to Harare.[3] Goromonzi Hill, at 1,581 metres (5,187 ft), is just southeast of the town.[3]
The global rise in lithium prices in the early 2020s triggered a 'lithium rush' in which artisanal miners occupied a privately owned lithium claim area in Goromonzi. The artisanal miners were later evicted after the area was cordoned off and shut down by Zimbabwe’s Environmental Management Agency.[4]
