Filabusi is a town and area in Matabeleland South province in Zimbabwe. The town is the district capital of Insiza (District) and a service centre for the surrounding mining and farming areas. The Filabusi Mining District was a major producer of gold, with mines such as Fred and Royal Family; and nickel at Epoch (Bindura Nickel Corporation).[1] Asbestos was also mined at Pangani and Croft.[1] However all these large scale mining operations are now closed, with mining in the district limited to small scale artisanal goldmining.[1] Agriculture in the Filabusi area is mostly cattle ranching, with some small-scale farming (see photo), the latter mainly on the resettlement (Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP)) land of former large ranches. The town of Filabusi is supplied with water from a weir on the Insiza River. References1. ^1 2 Baglow, N. 1998. The geology of the Filabusi Greenstone Belt and surrounding granitic terrain.
