Kwekwe–Gokwe Highway
[1][2] The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA), a government department under the Ministry of Transport, Communication and Infrastructural Development, oversees the highway.
[8] Luveve-Donjane Road branches westwards, passes through Tiger Reef gold mine and stretches 48.3 km, a 42 minute drive to Mushangi Shopping Center in Donjane joining the Somalala-Sidakeni Road there.
This is the shortest route from Kwekwe to Zhombe East, yet it is the slowest, as it is all gravel with a number of unprotected small bridges.
The road has one big bridge across Gweru River near Loreto Mission before reaching Crossroads District Service Center.
Zhombe East Road feeds Donjane, Bhamala, Totororo, and Sidakeni.
It passes through Gwenzi, Mavuli, Hwida, Ntabeni then joins Luveve-Silobela Road (Kwekwe-Nkai Road) 8.7 km short of Gweru River bridge and 24 km short of Crossroads Growth Point.
From the Kwekwe-Gokwe Highway the road feeds Gokwe-East, Mabura, Empress Mine and Sidakeni.
From the A5 the Gokwe-Empress Road branches westwards 22 kilometres (14 mi) south of Kadoma at A5 Empress Mine Turnoff" a place popularly called "Mtarimanja" and officially Muzvezve.
It passes through Venice Mine and Donain before reaching the Munyati River Bridge (Empress).
It joins the Chemagora-Sidakeni at Masoro Turnoff popularly known as Chinyudze, about 5 km west of Columbina Township.
The road connects Zhombe and Gokwe South areas to all parts of the country via its Kwekwe end.
[9] It serves Zhombe Communal Land, Chemagora purchase area, Gokwe, Nemangwe, Mutimutema and Sengwa coal mines.
[10] Both Zhombe Joel and Gokwe have experienced economic growth because of the impact of the feeder road.
Although there is no railway line to Gokwe, the road network, courtesy of the main R847 Kwekwe-Gokwe, has proved excellent.
The increase of heavy vehicles spells the growth of business in Gokwe, Zhombe and other centers in the north-eastern parts of Matabeleland North Province.
[11] Zhombe Joel, CMB Nemangwe and Kabuyuni-Chitekete growth points have also grown to suburban standards.
