ARCHDIOCESE OF BULAWAYO
The Archdiocese of Bulawayo has its humble beginnings from the independent mission of Bulawayo, separated from Salisbury Prefecture in 23 December 1930 and confided to the Marianhill Missionaries. On 13 July 1932 Bulawayo was raised to a prefecture apostolic and became a Vicariate Apostolic on 13 April 1937. In 1953 Hwange District and some parts of Shangani district situated between Kana and Shangani River was cut off from the Bulawayo Vicariate and formed into the Wankie prefecture. On 1st January 1955, the Vicariate Apostolic of Bulawayo was given the status of a diocese. On 10 June 1994, the diocese of Bulawayo was raised to a Metropolitan.
The Archdiocese of Bulawayo comprises the following civil districts: Bulilima, Mangwe, Nyamandhlovu, Tsholotsho, Bubi, part of Lupane, Nkayi with Shangani River as boundary, Insiza, Umzingwane, Beitbridge and Gwanda west of Umigwane River, Matobo. The Metropolitan diocese of Bulawayo covers an area of 69, 456 Square Kilometers with a population of 1.925.000.
