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]
