The idea was to develop it into one of the biggest towns, if not cities since there was a hospital and an 'airport' nearby.
The original name was Donga Township due to the vast number of dongas through erosion. In 1980, it was renamed Herbert Chitepo Business Centre after the late liberation struggle hero but that name failed to be recognised.

“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
