Shona. The town is most famous for the gold mine of the same name at the foot of the Shamva Mountain. Nickel is now mined in area after a large nickel deposit was discovered in the area. The gold mine recently reopened after Landela Mining Ventures Ltd., a subsidiary of the Mauritius-based company Sotic International Ltd., purchased the Shamva gold mine from Metallon Corporation, with a goal of producing 400 kg of gold per month by 2023. However attacks, killings, and disappearances of gold miners have been ongoing in various parts of Zimbabwe since 2018, including in Shamva and nearby Mazowe.
