Roman Catholic Diocese of Gokwe (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Gokwe (Latin: Gokven(sis)) is a suffragan diocese in the city of Gokwe in the ecclesiastical province of Harare in Zimbabwe. The Gokwe Region consists of the land in the area around Gokwe Centre that was formerly under the control of the Shangwe people, a Shona-speaking group, which lay in the northern part of the Midlands province of northwestern Zimbabwe, and is now broken up into Gokwe South District and Gokwe North District. A number of other groups live in the area, including the Tonga, and Ndebele. Nkayi North District lies to the south. A researcher noted in 1998, that the Nkayi-Gokwe border had hardened even before independence when Shona-speaking auxiliary forces had been recruited in Gokwe and used against Nkayi in explicitly tribal attacks.
