Antelope Mine, now known as Maphisa, is a town in the Matobo district of the province of Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe.

[2] The village was established in an area once rich in wildlife and was named after a goldmine which started operating in 1913 but closed in 1919.

[3] The mine was established on the site of ancient African workings which were first discovered by Europeans in the 1890s and the first claims were pegged in 1894.

Together with the villages of Maphisa, it draws on the nearby Gulamela Dam to irrigate a large communal agricultural scheme.

[5] On two instances, in 1996 and 1999, skeletal remains believed to be of executed ZAPU prisoners were discovered in the abandoned mineshaft.
