Ngondoma River

Ngondoma River is a river in Zhombe Communal Land, Kwekwe District in the Midlands province of Zimbabwe.

Location
Ngondoma River is in the Midlands Province, although some claim it to be in Mashonaland West Province. Rivers are usually identified at their mouths, and the place where Ngondoma River flows into Munyati River is indeed Mashonaland. Munyati River serves as a border of the two, set several metres on the Midlands side. Just before its confluence with Munyati River, it passes over Mabura Caves, a bat guano mine in Somapani area of Zhombe.

Ngondoma Dam
In 1967, the Ngondoma Dam was constructed on the river 67 km northwest of Kwekwe and 54 km southwest of Kadoma (by air). The dam holds more than 7000000 m3 of water. It supplies the government managed Ngondoma Irrigation Scheme 900000 m3 of water per year by a 5.8 km gravity-driven concrete-lined canal.

Bridges
Ngondoma River has two busy bridges. The larger one is across the Kwekwe-Gokwe Highway near Fafi School and the other one is on the Gokwe-Empress Road about 2 km down stream from the Ngondoma Dam.
