Umzingwane is a district in the northern part of Matabeleland South province in Zimbabwe.

Umzingwane District is located in the province of Matabeleland South with its main administrative council offices at Esigodini.

The terrain in Umzingwane District is varied from the granite inselbergs and koppies (kojies) of the Motobo Hills[7] to flat alluvial plains along the lower drainages.

[8][9] In the early 19th century, the Northern Ndebele invaded and settled in the Esigodini area which was at the time inhabited by the Rozi and Moyo Karanga people,[10] who themselves had migrated north from the territory around Gwanda and Belingwe.

[1] Traditionally the district is divided into four parts, each ruled by a local chieftain.
