Mpererwe is a trading centre that is gradually turning into a busy commercial area. Schools, gas stations, small-scale factories, hospitals, and a cinema hall are in this neighborhood. In up to 50 percent of homes, backyard urban agriculture is practiced. [3] [4] Because of the rapid urbanisation rate coupled with high unemployment, particularly among young people, the area is prone to crime. [5] Despite those challenges, the neighborhood remains close-knit, with a modest cost of living compared to other areas of the city. [6]
