.....For those who may not be conversant with the Shona language, ‘Mwene’ means ‘owner’ as in ‘Mwene wazvo’.
‘Mutapa’ means ‘Miner’.
It comes from the word ‘matope’ which means mud or ‘mutape’ which means clay.
Both ‘mutape’ and ‘matope’ are associated with playing with mud as in alluvial gold panning.

Mutape also means molten gold or metal ancillary to the mining and smelting industry and the production of all metal products in the Kingdom, such as guns, spears, hoes, axes and various ornaments which were exported to countries overseas such as India, Portugal, China, Persia and gave rise to Great Zimbabwe as the earliest civilisation in the world only second to Egypt.....^[2]
