Chegutu is a town in Zimbabwe.
It is located in Chegutu District, Mashonaland West Province, in central northern Zimbabwe. It lies approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi), by road, southwest of Harare, the capital, of Zimbabwe and the largest city in that country. Chegutu lies on the main road, Highway A-5, between Harare and Bulawayo, the second-largest city in Zimbabwe, located about 340 kilometres (210 mi), further southwest of Chegutu. The town sits at an elevation of 1,187 metres (3,894 ft), above sea level.
In addition to the offices of Chegutu Town Council, the town also accommodates the offices of Chegutu District Administration. The area around Chegutu is rich in gold ore. There are two big mines in the area, near where the old town was located. Royal Bank Zimbabwe, a commercial bank, maintains a branch in Chegutu.
Before 1982, Chegutu was known as Hartley, named after Henry Hartley, an early hunter and explorer. The town of Hartley was approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi), east of where the town is located today. White settlers flocked to the area after gold was discovered here and the Butterfly Mine and Giant Mine, both sprung up. The settlement was moved to its present location in 1899. In 1901 the railway reached the settlement. Hartley was proclaimed a village in 1903 and was granted municipality status in 1974. In 1982 the town's name was officially changed to Chegutu.
I feel like a sail-boat
Adrift on the sea
It's a brand new day
So when you gonna phone me
I could take you to heaven
I could spin you to hell
But I'll take you to New York
It's the place that I know well
Sitting on a flagstone talking to a faceless girl
Wondering what to say but my eyes do the talking so well
I duck and I sway - What's my line
Shoot at a full moon - What's my line
What's my line - Shake it baby
Cause love is the answer
Love's talking to me
I'd scream and I'll fight for you
You're better than money
We're the kind of people
who can shake it
if we're feeling blue
When I'm feeling disconnected well I sure know what to do
