Matabeleland North provincial capital, Lupane, whose economic potential lies in agriculture, energy, mining, timber production, tourism and research, is experiencing a growing population as some Government departments will relocate after the completion of Elitsheni Government Complex.
The moving in of some Lupane State University departments has increased demand for consumer services. Efforts are also being made by the Government to start exploitation of gas in Lupane.-chronicle
