Mazoe River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mazoe River (also called Mazowe River) is a river in Zimbabwe.
The Mazoe rises north of Harare, flows north and then northeast, where it forms part of the border with Mozambique, before entering the Zambezi River. In 1920, the Mazoe Dam was constructed on the river forty kilometres north of Harare to irrigate citrus farms[1].
The river and its tributaries are a popular site for gold panners, although in the wet season, the Mazoe becomes a raging torrent, often breaking its banks and causing damage to local communities and farms.
