The river rises north of [[Harare]], flows north and then northeast, where it forms part of the border with [[Mozambique]], and join the [[Luenha River]] before that entering the [[Zambezi River]]. In 1920, the [[Mazowe Dam]] was constructed on the river forty kilometres north of Harare to irrigate citrus farms.<ref>Kent Rusmussen, R. & Rubert, S.
