Dete (previously known as Dett) is a small railway re-crewing depot and a developing town on the Bulawayo-Hwange-Victoria Falls railway line in Zimbabwe, approximately north-west of Bulawayo and south-east of Hwange, lying within the Hwange National Park.
==Features== While originally unpopular with train crews stationed there because of its relative isolation and limited shopping and education facilities, these drawbacks were offset by a daily financial allowance and an extra day of paid leave for every month served there by railway workers. In the modern day though, Dete has grown into a full community.
