Sankulani

For several decades in the early 20th century, a sisal plantation was operated in the region between Sankulani and Chiromo.^[1]

Due to the town's proximity to the confluence of the Ruo River and the Shire River, it is exposed to flood risks.^[2]

It is served by a station on the southern line of the national railway system which connects with Mozambique. The railway in this stretch closely follows the border with Mozambique. Near this station, the railway leaves the plains to the south and enters the mountains to the north.
