Tokwe Mukosi Dam

The Tokwe Mukosi Dam or Tugwi Mukosi Dam[1] is a concrete-face rock-fill dam on the Tokwe River, just downstream of its confluence with the Mukosi River, about 72 kilometres (45 mi) south of Masvingo in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe.

[2] It is 90.3 metres (296 ft) tall and creates a 1,750,000,000 m3 (1,420,000 acre⋅ft) reservoir, the largest inland dam in the country.

The associated hydroelectric power station has a 12 megawatts (16,000 hp) installed capacity.

[7] Construction of the dam was suspended in June 2014 due to a lack of funding.

[8][9] In May 2016 the government released $35 million to Salini Impregilio[10] to enable the Italian contractor resume construction work that stopped two years ago owing to payment problems.
