Below is a Zinara toll fee receipt for the Esigodini tollgate. Unfortunately it refers to Esigodini as Sigodini which is wrong. Can the Minister of Transport Cde Obert Mpofu assist in rectifying this deliberate mistake by Zinara. Its supposed to be Esigodini and not Sigodini.

Esigodini (officially known as Essexvale until 1982) is a village in Zimbabwe in Matabeleland South province. It is situated 43 km from Bulawayo by road and 47 km by rail on the Bulawayo-Beitbridge line.

Esigodini is the administrative centre for Umzingwane District. It was originally an estate of Frederick Selous.



Nearby is Falcon College, a renowned secondary school for boys and Mzingwane High School, recently a well-performing government school. The village was founded in 1894 and is a trading centre for ranching and mixed farming around it; it is also close to Gold and Tungsten mines. Also, nearby is the Roman Catholic mission school formerly known as Sacred Heart Home. This school was founded and run by the Sisters Of The Precious Blood who fell under the Diocese Of Bulawayo and came mainly from Germany shortly after the second World War.
