Macheke is located in the province of Mashonaland East, a small village south east of Harare on the Harare - Mutare road. The name means ' you have divided', a name derived from the Macheke river. Mixed farming is practiced and there is a primary boarding school in the area. Macheke residents are mostly from Malawi and other parts of Zimbabwe. The town founders are from Malawi and neighboring areas. English, Chishona, and Chichewa are the major languages spoken in Macheke.

Tobacco and mixed crops are farmed in the surrounding lands. There are a number of large scale tobacco and horticultural farmers in the area so Macheke serves as the main business centre providing goods and services for the farming community. Regarding business expansion, Macheke has burgeoned.

Vending along the highway is one of the major economic activities done in this area. Hawkers mainly sell fresh farm produce that is sourced and procured from the surrounding farms. Main products sold include Tomatoes, potatoes and numerous other vegetables. For more information contact the Macheke Rural Council. (Source: Wikipedia)
