Columbina Rural Service Center, now popularly known as Empress, though Empress Mine is about 4 km to the South-west, is situated at the 45 km peg along the Gokwe-Kadoma Road. The 45 km east from Columbina is only up to the main Harare-Bulawayo Road, 22 km short from Kadoma. Gokwe is 86 km North-west by road. == Introduction == Columbina Rural Service Center is near the now defunct Empress Nickel Mine which is about 4 km to the South-west, in Kwekwe District. Blue Gum mine is on the Gokwe side of Ngondoma River yet this place was the original Blue Gum according to all maps before 1980. Blue Gum was right at the Samambwa Zhombe East Road turn-off here at Columbina RSC. Search engines always point to this place as Blue Gum, Zimbabwe. Columbina Rural Service Center is in Mahogo Village, Mabura Ward of the Zibabgwe Rural District Council (Ward 6) in CHIEF SAMAMBWA’s area of jurisdiction. Chief Samambwa reigns in the Zhombe-East part of Zhombe, from Donjane in the south-end to Samambwa in the north-end. The place was formerly under Chief Chiundura until the late 1960s when Mapfumo Samambwa was crowned Headman of the area reporting to Chief Chiundura. Mapfumo was however called and known as the chief of the area because he had all the chief’s jurisdiction, let alone the official part of it. When Chief Mapfumo Samambwa passed on in the late 1960s, his first born son George Ndumo Samambwa reigned but not for long because he also passed on, but under suspicious circumstances. After George his younger brother came in, Peter Samambwa who reigned until his death in 2009. Both George and Peter had their residence in Donjane unlike their father who had his residence at the north-end of their jurisdiction area, at Samambwa Village. Currently Peter Samambwa’s first born is reigning as regent with effect from 23 February 2012. The responsible government minister has not come yet to announce the official chief, and until then Willard Sonny Samambwa is chief. When things change the Government will publish it on this page Traditional leaders in Zimbabwe People, especially from outside Zhombe mistake Columbina RSC for Empress Mine Township because this is where commuters from different places debus here on their way to Empress Mine Township. Columbina RSC was named after the old Columbina or Colombina Mine which mined gold ore only a short distance from this center in the 1960s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Columbina Rural Service Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
