Background The name Gweru is a further distortion of the name Gwelo which was a distortion of the name Ikwelo meaning a very steep place where one would usually use a ladder upwards or downwards. Itself a distortion of the original Kalanga name of Gwelu an abbreviation of Gwelumatjena meaning the river of white stones. Legends say when Ndebele people first settled in the area, their women found it very difficult to draw water from the river because of its slippery steep banks. The river was then called 'Ikwelo' because the greater part of this long river has slippery steep banks all the way to its mouth in Shangani River. Women used ''ukwelo'' (ladder) then to help them fetch water from the river. Gweru City was named from Ikwelo River. The European settlers pronounced as ''iGwelo'' shortened to ''Gwelo'' and after independence Zimbabweans shonalized it to Gweru, hence Gweru River. Op ...
