- Penhalonga ist eine Stadt in der Provinz Manicaland in Simbabwe mit 4.477 Einwohnern. Die Stadt liegt 18 km nördlich der Provinzhauptstadt Mutare am Zusammenfluss der Flüsse Imbezas und Sambi zum Mutare River im östlichen Hochland Zimbabwes auf einer Höhe von ca. 1200 m ü. NN. Das Vorhandensein von Goldvorkommen war durch portugiesische Aufzeichnungen aus dem 17. Jahrhundert bekannt. Durch die portugiesische Companhia de Moçambique (Mozambique Company) und deren Vertreter J. H. Jeffreys und Baron de Rezende wurden 1888 antike Goldabbaustätten entdeckt, die nach Rezende und Count Penhalonga, dem damaligen Vorsitzenden der Companhia de Moçambique, benannt wurden. Diese wurden in der Folge neu erschlossen. Um die 1897 gegründete Phenalonga-Mine entwickelte sich die Stadt. Heute sind die Minen der Stadt, unter anderem die Redwing Mine, bedeutsam für den Goldabbau in Simbabwe, auch Silber und Schmucksteine werden gefördert. In Phenalonga befindet sich ein Denkmal, das Pioneer Nurses’ Memorial, das an die Errichtung des ersten Krankenhauses in Manicaland durch Missionsschwestern der anglikanischen Kirche erinnert. (de)
- Penhalonga is mining village in Mutasa District of Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe, located 18 km north of Mutare in a valley where the Tsambe and Imbeza Rivers meet the . According to the 1982 Population Census, the village had a population of 4,477. Ancient gold workings have been found in the area. In 1895 the Penhalonga Mine opened and the village grew around the gold mine. The name is derived from the shona word Panoronga meaning "the place that shines". The origin is often confused with the Portuguese words "Penha" which means "rocky mountain" and "longa" meaning long. While the old Penhalonga mine closed in 1943, a new mine, the Rezende Mine, opened in 1999. Bauxite clay, which is also mined in the area, supplies most of Zimbabwe's pottery industry. The village is the residential and commercial centre for the mine and the surrounding area of forestry, dairy and mixed farming.
