It is located 30 km east-south-east of Choma in the Singani Chieftaincy, not far from the Zambezi Escarpment north-west of Lake Kariba.
It existed as a traditional community until the early twentieth century when American missionaries from the Brethren in Christ Church established a mission station there.
During the first half of the twentieth century, missionaries established a church, a clinic, and a primary school.
In 1968, the Brethren in Christ church established a Bible Institute which continues to the present.
With help from the local community, the mission station established a secondary school during the 1970s.
