The last time we visited Mutoko was in 2016 and the tour write up found in our 2018 Book.
So when we toured the town, we obviously expected development to have taken place, but not to the scale we witnessed yesterday.
Mutoko is flying and doing so under the radar. No noise, no features, zero publicity. Just action, serious action.
So 22 Zbinites, 2 kombis with one of them hired from Diego and yesterday we possibly had the best tour in recent memory.
Whats new in Mutoko?

Entertainment.
In 2016 Mutoko was a real growth point. And I remember writing about the lack of entertainment spaces. Its now all water under the bridge as an exquisite resort called Gohori was set up and could well be the best new resort in Mash East and possibly amongst the best new places in Zim.
Construction Boom: Who is benefiting from all the buildings coming up?
SaMutoko arikuvaka guta kwete mbichana. The Makaha Gold driving growth with suburbs expansion visible from the highway. But dont be deceived by what the highway shows. Ana SaMutoko varikuita zvinorova.

Opportunities Snapshot;
- Construction Value Chain.
- Autos: Ayewa mari ikutenderera and the number of cars simply amazing. Compared to 2016, the vehicle population has shot up by more than 50 times.
- Even Chicken Inn did set up a caravan and were enjoying brisk business. Still room for top tier restaurants.
- Sporting: Do they have a stadium? We didnt inquire but Sports could attract more opportunities. And locals could chip in just like Chahwanda in Kwekwe. The Mrewa Police asked us whether we were going for a soccer match? So room for Soccer, Squash, Basketball, Rugby and other sports linking Mutoko to the rest of the country.
- Tourism: What would attract tourists to Mutoko? Time for innovations.
- Shopping Malls: There is need for a few shopping malls for the area. Food for thought to NSSA, Old Mutual and other pension funds.
More People=More Opportunities. Education, Health…Who has been filling the gap?
I could be wrong, but in 2016 there was no medium/low density to the West of the CBD across the highway? The area where Gohori Resort is located, beautiful area, road quality too![]()

So in 2016 iyi yaive growth point yomene. In 2026 now a proper town. And by 2036 this could be a City.
When they give awards, they must not forget the brains behind the accelerated and orderly growth of Mutoko. They deserve it![]()
Credit to Gohori Resort. We encourage you all to find time and go to the place. Exquisite, beautiful views and above all, very peaceful. Thinking of refreshing? Then Gohori the place to be. They are even expanding building more rooms and conference centres.
