Gwayi River
River in Zimbabwe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gwayi River is a river in Zimbabwe. It is located in Matabeleland. It forms the border between Tsholotsho and Lupane districts, in the Matebeleland North province of Zimbabwe.
A dam on the river, the Gwayi-Shangani Dam, has been under construction since 2004.[1] The dam is projected to supply water to the city of Bulawayo and comprises part of the Matabeleland Zambezi Water Project.[2]
The river poses several risks to local residents. Drownings have occurred during the rainy season.[3][4] The Gwayi River is additionally home to crocodiles, which pose a risk to local residents.
