Zvishavane is a small mining town in Midlands Province, Zimbabwe. Formerly called Shabani. Its name is derived from shavani, an Ndebele word meaning "finger millet," or "trading together." Surrounded by low hills, it is on direct rail links to Harare and Bulawayo in Zimbabwe and to Maputo in Mozambique.
A notable feature is the asbestos mine close to the town.
