Sentosa is a resort in Singapore, which underlines the poetic irony that Zimbabwea could have been the Singapore of Africa. Maybe even its South Korea.
I can remember when Salisbury Municipality took over the Town Management Boards. My parents did not approve! A model boating lake was being built at Ballentine Park at the time and the Salisbury municipality cancelled that project, displeasing us lads greatly!
Warren Park is my home
Brilliant, thank you.

Harare is itself a suburb of Salisbury.
Interesting
Thanks for the video. Have the names stayed the same as the country decolonised?
Really for work like it
Thanks for the research brother. I did not know there was a number of Americans who were involved in first occupation of Zimbabwe. It explains why British and Americans seem to have an interest in Zim,also the German and Dutch counterparts too.The Dutch nearly took Mozambique from the Portuguese back in the day,but Portuguese resisted.Today in the City of Beira, a Dutch community is working with the Council of the City on green projects. So History has a way of repeating itself.

If you google Powell Road, Harare you will see it's still there. The roads in the suburbs pretty much all have their original names. I lived in Queensdale.

Harare = He never sleeps He = a guard checking ennemies area from the highest point of the city Harare never sleeps.. When the ennemies try to attack, the guard warns the soldiers in the valley.

Another explanation is that it was named after the local chief 'Havarare'. = he never sleeps.

I think that Harare should be renamed Mugabeberg
Well researched. Salisbury must have been a beautiful city before the occupation in 1980 by the war criminal and father of mass genocide Mugabe!!!!!
