Harare Zimbabwe Temple
Zimbabwe
The Harare Zimbabwe Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Harare, Zimbabwe. At the time of its announcement, it was the country's first temple and the ninth on the African continent. A groundbreaking was held on December 12, 2020, with Edward Dube, of the presidency of the church's Africa South Area, presiding. Zimbabwe's president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, attended the groundbreaking and gave brief remarks. Built on a 6.7-acre site at 65 Enterprise Road in Harare’s Highlands, the single-spired, single-story building is approximately 17,250 square feet. With construction nearing completion, in August 2025 the church announced a public open house scheduled from January 22 to February 7, 2026 (excluding Sundays). The temple is scheduled to be dedicated on March 1, 2026, by Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The temple will serve more than 46,000 Latter-day Saints in Zimbabwe.
