Sebakwe River

Sebakwe River descends from the south-western heel of Mtoro Hill, elevation 1,580 metres (5,180 ft), north-east of Chivhu.

It says Zibagwe which is a ChiShona name for " a very large maize plant or cob" was given when local people visited to scavenge the camp that the European explorers had set for months.

Though not officially stated it is thought that the Zibagwe "Urinal" Maize Plant encouraged the ecological experimental toilets project carried out in Zimbabwe a few years ago.

It meets Nyazvidzi River south-east of St Kizito School in what was known as Eastdale Tribal Trust Land.

[6] In the sixteenth century a Portuguese explorer, Fernandes, camped on the banks of the Sebakwe River not{convert|5|mi|km} from Kwekwe.

[9] In 1914 (some records say 1880) Fred Selous shot and killed a white rhino in this river and its skull was preserved.

It was also a route for travelling from the east to the Salisbury-Bulawayo Road which was west of the Enkeldoorn and Fort Charter areas.

Sebakwe River had also crossing places without bridges but a ferryboat, drawn across by a wheel which travelled along the cable like an aerial car.

[15] Sebakwe River also acted as the northern boundary of Kutanga Bombing Range in the then Rosedale Farming Area.
