It is within the traditional jurisdiction of Chief Headman (Ishe 'Sadunhu) Mabvuregudo and Chief (Mambo) Kandenga Nyashanu of the Mhofu (eland) clan. Sanga area is situated about 8 km from Masenga Mountain which is near Nyashanu Mission and about 8 km from Chiurwi/Dzapasi Mountain.[1] Dzapasi Mountain played a significant role as a demobilisation point of armed forces at the end of Zimbabwe's Second War of Liberation, the Second Chimurenga. Sanga community has one service centre, called Sanga which hosts the Sanga Cattle Sales Pens popularly known as Sanga Market, Sanga Police Station and grocery shops like Manjovha, Mutemahuku, Vhiriri, Rugare and others.
