Location of the Bubye River's mouth
The Bubye River, also known as Bubi River, is a tributary of the Limpopo River in Beitbridge District and Gwanda District, Zimbabwe.
Tigerfish occur naturally in this river.[2]
Dams
Formerly there were no major dams on the river.[3] The Bubi-Lupane Dam was built in 2010 in order to supply water to Lupane District.[4] A water treatment plant is also being built.[5]
