Luveve Secondary School is a government school in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. It was established in January 1958 as a technical college for black students, but became a secondary school in 1965 for black students as the technical college was closed due to Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence.[1][2] Initially the school was open to only male students and had an initial enrollment of 45 students in 1958.[3]

It was built to train black Africans in technical trades with a view to them returning to their homelands to teach their peers the trades that they had learned. At that time only the staff were multi-racial, the majority being white, some local, but many brought in on special contracts from the UK.

The main trades taught were: Brickwork, Plastering, Painting and Decorating, Carpentry and Joinery, Motor Engineering, Electrical, Plumbing, Engineering (Machining).
