Penhalonga is a mining village located in the Mutasa District of Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe. It is situated approximately 18 km north of Mutare in a valley formed by the confluence of the Tsambe and Imbeza Rivers with the Mutare River. The name originates from the Shona word Panoronga, which translates to "the place that shines," though it is sometimes confused with Portuguese terms for "long rocky mountain."
The village developed primarily around gold mining activities; ancient workings exist in the area, and the Penhalonga Mine opened in 1895. While the original mine closed in 1943, the Rezende Mine commenced operations in 1999. In addition to gold, the region produces bauxite clay, which serves as a primary supply for Zimbabwe's pottery industry. Penhalonga functions as the residential and commercial hub for the mining sector as well as the surrounding forestry, dairy, and mixed farming industries.
