Bulawayo is the capital of Matabeleland and the heart of Zimbabwe's heavy industry. It is the headquarters of the National Railways, the Cold Storage Commission and houses Zimbabwe's School of Mines, the Hotel and Catering Management School as well as the University of Science and Technology. The city centre with its wide streets is pictured here. |

It is a spacious and attractive city which is laid out on a grid of boulevards designed to be wide enough to allow a herd of 16 oxen pulling a wagon to turn a full circle. It has many grand old buildings which require funds to keep maintained. The importance of the city as a national transport centre is ever increasing. It's roads carry more and more regional freight and apart from daily flights to Harare there are regular flights from Bulawayo to other regional destinations.
