THE MARANGE CHIADZWA AREA
The Marange People are well known in Zimbabwe, after the discovery of diamonds in the field. The rush for the precious stone have been a huge contribution towards the economy of Zimbabwe and the world at large. Today almost the whole of diamonds mined at Chiadzwa Marange are key in improvements on the whole set of development within the country. Mutare West constituency is one of the contributirs to the countries mineral resources as well as iron, coke diamonds, emerald and quartz. ln a look to the community of Marange a lot of setbacks have been notice and some terrible relocation of individuals who use to live around the Places where diamonds are found and today they have been relocated to Odzi Relocation zone built by the companies who where mining in the field including the Chinese Government.

The Untold Mystery of Marange Muchenje Pure Water
This story is based on a survey l conducted with Hilliard Geoffrey (UK),Courtney Campbell (US) and Andrew Johnson (South Africa) during our tour in Zimbabwe in September to December 2022. After driving through the Eastern Highlands ranch of Zimbabwe witnessing various beautiful places of Mutare Vumba we see Vumba Heights and Nyachowa falls, we drive back to Mutare to reach Marange Community, where we arrive at Marange High School the most improved school in the district, there we also heard about a spring that gives pure water and never stops day and night till today, we were suprised about how the place is and communities come to fetch water there even during the drought era. The Marange-Muchenje Spring Water is a mystery and we still have questions how the process of purification happen, how the water is so fresh and how it gets out without a pump. The area where the spring is, is so cool and calm for relaxation.And this site gas proven its a simple of hope to the Marange people nomatter the climate change crisis. We then find a young boy from the zone, whom his forefathers are the one who manage and preserve the area, his name is Tendai Leon Marange he guides us to the site and let us explore the site and we were happy that a rural young man like him can speak fluent English like he is trainned to do the job and he was a true guide, he explains that his father and him himself were born while the spring already exist. The young man believed the Pond was built during the colonial era and until today the spring never dries .He believes that it might be more than 100years old.The boy named it with a native shona term (Pamukute) a popular name for the trees surrounded. The area is still a mystery that noone can really explains what really happens there.The place is also been used to sustain livelihoods through beekeeping for the production of pure natural honey. He then manage to took us to find villagers from around and they unlocked some things we haven't heard that the place is a sacred shrine on its own ,they believe a mermaid live there and some time past they usually see white chickens,black chickens, snakes and mystery of people being beaten without seeing what beats them and speaking vulgar words is not allowed at the place.Tendai Leon Marange then explains that he is not so sure if those things existed back then since he was still young. He explains they might be rumours people say but noone actually know what happens there, only we know is people are not allowed to cut down trees or play at this place or to go fetch water at night.He said the place is also the biggest source of water to the villagers who owns gardens around there and his family have a bigger garden also. He said they make sure noone tempers with the place but few tourist know about this place. l was surprised but it should be a Cultural Preserved Site. We collected few bottles of water to a laboratory analysis and we were suprised by the vitality of the water and its pureness. This water is 99.9% safe for human and animal consumption. It should be put on the records of Cultural Preserved Site in Manicaland Province list and be presented as a tourist site. We then proceeded to Marange Community Museum where we learn about the Marange people, their culture,The Royal Marange Chieftainshipand we thank you the people of Marange for being creative to that extent. We also meet Ishe Blood Marange an elder in the Royal Marange Chieftainship and we asked so many questions and he managed to answer us, but honesty this man is a biblical cadre in Marange, everything he say he give a reference from the bible and he is also an elder in the SDA church(Nyakwenda Church). We heard stories of the Royal Marange Chieftainship and its sacred places and mountains including the .Nyarurwe Mountain .Makomwe mountain where chiefs are buried . Hudson E Greely United Methodist church in the mountains .The story of the Royal Marange Chiefs first son to join pastoral and preaching programme Rev Thomas Marange. .The story of Senator Ishe Hama Marange .The story of a national hero Cde George Rubatso Marange. .The Provincial Hero Chief Gilbert Chikwadombo Marange. .Their very own daughter Zimbabwean cricketer Precious Marange. . Academic And Excellence leader and community examplery Mr Matthew M Marange (Former Marange High School Head) now heading First Class Academy. . Business with Excellence in the Victoria Falls we heard of Mr Ozias Marange (Makomwe Hardware). lt is a clear picture that the Marange Family is an educated family indeed, there history have spoken of so many achievement in the country in both academic and sports.
