The Mupfure River has been the site of several accidents and drownings. In August 2022, two vehicles travelling on the Harare-Masvingo highway got into an accident and tumbled into the river. Five people inside the vehicles drowned after falling into the river. In April 2024, a man fleeing from police jumped into the river to escape. He was found later drowned by local residents.
