context_page_description: Mutange Dam, across Mutange River, is a manmade earth fill embarkment dam located in Chisina Village, 30 km east of Gokwe and 35 km northwest of Empress Mine, in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. Mutange Dam is 42 km by road from Gokwe and 49 km from Empress, 117 km from Kadoma and 146 km from Kwekwe via Empress. It is owned and operated by the Ministry of Water Resources and Development.
context_section_description: Mutange Dam was constructed mainly to augment fossil borehole water supply to 
  Gokwe Centre. It has a capacity of 4.950 million m³. 
  Initially, the estimated cost of construction of the dam was $8,224,504.00 (2010-2014), but because of economic constraints faced by Zimbabwe contraction which took too long to complete, it cost over $130 million due to inflation and other economic and political challenges. The dam construction was finally completed in 2016.
