It had a population of approximately 58,000 in 2002. Masvingo is located {{convert|292|km|abbr=off}} south of [[Harare]]. Most of the local population belongs to the [[Karanga people|Karanga]] and [[Manyika tribe|Manyika]], [[Shona people|Shona]] sub-tribes. The city is divided into suburbs including [[Mucheke]], [[Rujeko]], [[Rhodene]], [[Target Kopje]] and [[Eastvale, Zimbabwe|Eastvale]]. The suburbs are divided into high-density, middle-density and low-density suburbs. [[Mucheke]], the oldest township and [[Rujeko]] are the most populous high-density suburbs. Mucheke is also the site of the city's main bus rank as well as the stadium which is named after the ghetto. KMP and Runyararo suburbs are relatively new high and medium density suburbs beyond Mucheke. The middle-density suburbs are Eastvale located close to [[Zimuto Police Camp]] and [[Target Kopje]] located on the southern part of town on a small hill close to [[Flamboyant Hotel]]. [[Rhodene]], a low-density suburb on the northern part of the city centre, is the most affluent suburb in Masvingo. A new suburban development, Zimre Park, is also taking shape to the north east of the town along Bulawayo Road. Another suburban development is taking place close to the affluent Clipsham Park and is aptly named Clipsham Heights as it straddles the hills running parallel to the Beitbridge-Masvingo road. Masvingo also has peri-urban plots such as Morningside, Glenlivet, and Bushmead.{{cn|date=October 2023}} [[File:Clipsham Heights, an expansion of suburbs in Masvingo.jpg|thumb|Clipsham Heights, an expansion of suburbs in Masvingo.]] Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
