The Zimbabwean government plan on moving the country’s capital to Mount Hampden, which is just outside Harare. It’s where the Pioneer Column (colonizers) settled then South Rhodesia’s capital.

It doesn’t make much sense since it’s an expensive project, there isn’t a good reason for it and they’ll have a hard time finding water since its current water source is heavily polluted, meaning they’ll have to dam water from far away. It’s just a big vanity project, according to Jonathan.
