Ndanga is a sub-district in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe and is located 60 km south-east of Masvingo.
The area is easily accessible from the city of Masvingo, as it is lies roughly midway on a highway linking the province's two main cities of Masvingo and Chiredzi. Although the greater Ndanga district is vast, extending as far south as Jerera, it is this original Ndanga area that is home to the district's largest hospital. Not only is Ndanga District Hospital a major hospital in its district, it is also the second major hospital in the whole province. A relatively small business centre, with its sprawling residential area, lies adjacent to the hospital. The community of Ndanga is served by a council school, Chimedza.
Simon R. Ndanga is the chief of Ndanga of which a group of herdmen fall under him around Ndanga. The few neighbouring chiefs are Nhema, Chipinda, Muroyi, Charumbira, of which the half moon chief is with Chief S .R .G. Ndanga.
The Nyabise dam on the Nyabise river supplies the whole Ndanga area that includes all the neighbouring villages with water, but now the dam is 100% silted since 2000 during Cyclone Eline.
The Ndanga area is surrounded by a number of churches, including Roman Catholic, Dutch Reformed Church, Church of Christ, Wesley Methodist, and AFM of Zim.
