Dete is a small railway re-crewing depot and village on the Bulawayo-Hwange-Victoria Falls railway line in Zimbabwe, approximately 415 km (258 mi) north-west of Bulawayo and 93 km (58 mi) south-east of Hwange, lying within the Hwange National Park.While unpopular with train crews stationed there because of its relative isolation and limited shopping and education facilities, these drawbacks are offset with a daily financial allowance and an extra day’s paid leave for every month served by workers.
There are three main surbubs. The largest of these are the densely populated Mtuya and Soweto. Mtuya is made up of predominantly mud houses with thatch roofs, while Soweto is composed of brick houses with asbestos roofing. The smaller and less densely populated surbub is the ‘Railways’ surbub, built by the railways for its workers, but inhabited by a mixture of the wealthier Dete inhabitants.
