Gwai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sipepa is a village and forested area in the province of Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe. It is located around 135 km north-west of Bulawayo. The village is named after a local Ndebele chief. The Gwai River Inn was a popular stop on the road between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, but is now a shell following its destruction in a fire.

The area has a large hardwood forest known as the Gwai Forest Reserve.[1]

History

In 2017, a South African hunter Theunis Botha was crushed to death in Gwai by an elephant that had been shot by another member of his hunting group.[2][3]
