Lefatshe la Zhombe le kwa botlhaba jwa letamo, fa la Kgosi Chisina, Gokwe le le kwa bophirima. Letamo le ke la kgaolo ya Kwekwe kwa botlhaba jwa Zhombe, gape ke lengwe la matamo a a sekete, makgolo a marataro, le masome a mabedi mo Midlands. Matamo a a mo kgaolong e a dira 17% wa matamo otlhe a kwa Zimbabwe, a okametswe ke ZINWA (Zimbabwe National Water Authority). Tse di diragetseng pele Letamo la Ngondoma le agilwe ka 1967 go isa metsi kwa moepong wa nickel wa Empress le go nosetsa mo porojekeng ya Ngondoma Irrigation Scheme ka 1968. Le isa metsi a dimithara di le dikete di le makgolo a robabongwe kwa porojekeng e ya puso ka ngwaga. Go bereka ga lone Sekgwa sa Mapfungautsi kwa Gokwe ke sone kgampu ya boremelelo e e bayang metsi a a elelang mo metsweding ya noka ya Ngondoma. Noka ya Ngondoma e na le metswedi e le meraro - o mongwe o kwa go neng go itsege ka leina la lefatshe la Ngondoma Crown, kwa borwa-bophirima jwa Mapfungautsi Plateau kwa kgaolong ya Gokwe, wa bobedi go tswa kwa nokeng ya Chikombera kwa ntlheng ya Gokwe, wa boraro go tswa kwa nokeng ya Chebechebe kwa ntlheng ya Zhombe. Dinoka tsa Chikombera le Chebechebe tsotlhe e ne e le metswedi ya noka ya Ngondoma, letamo le agilwe kwa bokopanong jwa tsone. Seretse Seelo sa letamo la Ngondoma fa le agiwa e ne e le dimithara di le didikadike di supa, se lekane go isa metsi kwa go ba ba a a nwang. Seretse se ama seelo sa letamo, mme ga go ise go itemogelwe tlhaelo ya metsi epe. Letamo la Ngondoma ke le leagilweng ka mmu, le na le mafaratlhatlha a dikgoro a a seng thata kwa bophirima jwa lebotana la letamo. Le na le tsela ya go tsholola metsi a a fetileng seelo e e sa laolweng ke batho. Banni bangwe ba metse e e gaufi le lone ba tlhagola lotshitshi lwa lone ba bo ba fudisa diruiwa tsa bone gaufi le lone se se bakang kgothego ya mu kwa godimo ga letamo, se se baka go kgobokana ga seretse. Go epa gouta mo go seng ka fa molaong bogolo jang kwa ntlheng ya Zhombe ya noka ya Ngondoma, le gone ke motswedi wa go kgobokana ga mmu le seretse. Letamo la Ngondoma le mo kgaolong ya temothuo ya Zimbabwe, kwa pula ya ngwaga e ka nnang bokete jwa dimilimithara di le makgolo a matlhano le masome a matlhano. Ka jalo go nosetsa ke peeletso e e botlhokwa mo kgaolong eo. Go okamela kgothego ya mmu kwa godimo go a tlhaela, ka jalo go kokoana ga seretse kwa lekadibeng la Ngondoma go dumelwa fa go santse go tlaa tswelela. Lekgotla le le okametseng tikologo la Environmental Management Authority (EMA) le tlhoka tirisano mmogo ya baagi le ba bangwe mo lefelong leo go thusa go fedisa bothata jo. Lekgotla la EMA le tsaya dikgato kgatlhanong le ba ba tlolang molao mo lotshitshing lwa noka. Banwi ba metsi Letamo le nosa batho le diruiwa. Kwa ntle ga porojeke ya go nosetsa, letamo le nosa moepo wa Empress, Columbina RSC, metse e e mo ntlheng ya Zhombe ya letamo le ntlha ya Gokwe. Baagi ba dirisa metsi a letamo go nosetsa ditshingwana tsa bone tsa morogo, go nosa loruo, go bopa ditena le tse dingwe tsa mo gae e le ka fa molaong kgotsa e se ka fa molaong. Makgotla a go tshwara ditlhapi le one a na le seabe sa one mo letamong la Ngondoma; le fa go ntse jalo, thuo ya ditlhapi ga e diriwe mo lefelong leo le ntswa mefuta ya ditlhapi e le mentsi e tshwerwe kgotsa e bonwe mo letamong le. Ditlamorago mo tikologong Go sa dirise metsi a mosele sentle Mo porojekeng ya nosetso ya Ngondoma, metsi a ya kwa porojekeng a tswa kwa letamong ka mosele o o bulegileng wa dikhilomithara di le botlhano le borobabobedi. Baagi bangwe ba tsaya metsi mo moseleng o e se ka fa molaong go bopa ditena le go nosetsa ditshingwana. Metsi a mangwe a tshologa mo ditshingwaneng tse a boela mo nokeng ya Ngondoma. Tiragalo e, e koafatsa go isiwa ga metsi kwa porojekeng,mme metsi a tswa mo letamong ka botlalo. Go tshwara ditlhapi Ka letamo la Ngondoma le le mo masimong, le letlelela go tshwarwa ga ditlhapi, batshwari ba ditlhapi bangwe ba ba seng ka fa molaong ba tshwara ditlhapi phetelelela mo ba feditseng ditlhapi mo lekadibeng la letamo le. Dimela Letamo la Ngondoma le dikaganyeditswe ke dimela tse di nonneng fa go lebelelwa dimela kwa Zimbabwe. Kwa botlhaba jwa letamo go nne le bontle jwa dimela di tshwana le Acacia amythethophylla, Mophane, Euphorbia hirta, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Albizia harveyi, Lantana camara, Senna singueana, Typha capensis le Bauhinia macrantha go bua di le mamlwa fela mo go tse di lekgolo, lesome le bobedi tse di kgobokantsweng ke Tessa Ball ka Ngwanatsele a robabongwe ngwaga wa 1996.
