Where is Redcliff Zimbabwe? Map of Redcliff

About 220 kilometres southwest of Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, lies the town of Redcliffe. Once the nerve centre of the Zimbabwean steel industry, this city now resembles a ghost town.

Equal Times arrived in Redcliffe on a Wednesday in February at 09.00 on a hot morning. Years ago, at this hour, we would have found it bursting with activity, when the nearby factory produced tons of steel every hour. Today it is enveloped by a disturbing calm.
