Gwengwerere is a budding urban plant, a growth point in Zimbabwean sense. A Growth Point is such because it is meant to grow into a town of sorts, complete with its own industries and housing estates. It grows faster than the normal evolution of an urban entity because its purpose is to provide employment to the local area, thus improving the local economy within a short time. It is not clear whether a Growth Point would eventually have to change its name to remove the term Growth Point, after it has grown to a certain size. Judging from towns that grow into cities, its fair to assume that Growth Points would grow into towns and change their names. Zimuto area is such a scared place. It is a place full of history of early age human race. The cavemen lived in Mazambara, Chivavarira and even Gokomere mountains just to mention but a few.
Zimuto Siding pronounced correctly as ZeeMooToe Siding, is named in the ChiKaranga language spoken locally after Chief Zimuto in whose area it is located. Zi is a word prefix denoting large size, and Muto is a noun meaning soup. So literally Zimuto means a large amount of soup. The colonial settlers named the siding after the local chief Zimuto but due to their poor understanding of the pronunciation wrote the name as they would pronounce it and not as it is actually pronounced. The name Zimutu was put down as the official name and appears on some old maps and on rail road documents. It is meaningless and led to confusion as locals spelt is as Zimuto, and the settlers spelt as Zimutu. After inderpendence in 1980, most local names were revised and spelt correctly. Because many documents were generated during the colonial years, researchers must always assume that Zimutu is the same place as Zimuto.
