Historical and Economic Features
Founded in the early 1900s and developed as a result of nearby gold mining, Banket's economy is now dominated by agriculture. The town has an agro-processing plant and agricultural services, and is easily accessible by the highway that connects Harare to Chinoy. The population is predominantly Shona and retains traditional agricultural practices.
Geography and Human Environment
The climate around the town is typically savannah with distinct wet and dry seasons. The pace of life in the community is relaxed and the weekly open-air market is a local specialty.
