Bikita District, Masvingo, Zimbabwe


Bikita is a district in the Masvingo Province of Zimbabwe. It borders with Gutu District, Zaka District, Chipinge District, Chiredzi District, Buhera District and Mwenezi District. It is located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) east of Masvingo. Its administration is at Nyika Growth Point, but initially it was at Bikita Office, 11 km south of Nyika towards Jerara Growth Point in Zaka District.

The surrounding area is mined for lithium, Bikita mine being one example. The mine is reputed to have the largest reserve of petalite in the world.
