Raffingora is a small town in the province of Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe. It is located about 45 km north-east of Chinhoyi in one of Zimbabwe's leading tobacco growing districts. The town was heavy with agricultural activities before the land reform program. A lot of farms are not producing due to poor agricultural and political practices. The town further suffered from the expropriation of white-owned commercial farms in the controversial land reform programme that began in 2000. The town's main source of income and business clientele, the farmers and businesspeople, all but disappeared from the scene, leading to a loss of business and income. The settlers who took over the farms failed to fill the gap created by the demise of commercial farms. This led to the collapse of retail businesses and the few industries that were in the town.

It falls in the Zvimba North Political District and the current Member of Parliament (2013-2018) is Marian Chombo who is also a cabinet Minister.^[1]
