Inyathi (also known as Enyathi, Inyati, UMzinyathi, and Emhlangeni) is a village located in the Bubi District of Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe that grew from colonization by missionaries in the late 19th century.[3][4][5][6] The Mission itself sits upon around 2,729 hectares (6,740 acres) of land.[7] Inyathi is about 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Bulawayo[8] and has a number of gold mines that have inspired both corporate (including Rio Tinto and Anglo American) and illegal mining.[9]
