Chitomborwizi

Chitomborwizi lies west of the Manyame River in the country of the Chirau chiefs. It was known to Portuguese writers as Quitamboroize, one of the places reached by traders moving across the northern plateau. Merchants from Sena gathered at Dambarare and travelled onwards to Chitomborwizi, carrying goods into a region connected with the gold trade. In the late seventeenth century, conflict between the Rozvi and the Portuguese disrupted these networks, and traders fled from Chitomborwizi towards the Mutapa's court.

The later city of Chinhoyi lies here.
