The Save River basin with the Tokwe (left bottom)

The Tokwe River is a river in southeastern Zimbabwe. It is a tributary of the Runde River.[1] Major tributaries of the Tokwe include the Tokwane River.

In February 2014, after heavy rains, the Tokwe river basin flooded.[2] Twelve villages upstream from the Tokwe Mukorsi Dam were affected, and over 20,000 people were evacuated from the area.[2]
