A legacy, continued

Professor Stanlake Samkange

Historian, educator and nationalist, Professor Stanlake Samkange envisioned the castle as a beacon of hope for Zimbabwean housing. The estate carries his name and his aspiration: heritage preserved, and reinterpreted for modern living.

A partnership of vision

The estate honours the significant contributions of Dr. Tommie Marie Anderson, Professor Samkange's wife, whose work stood alongside his own.
