The claim that ’South Africa currently buys water from Zimbabwe that comes from Limpopo river meaning the river belongs to Zimbabwe‘ is false. The Limpopo river is not owned by any one country but is run by a commission comprising four countries - Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa. It is equally false that South Africa is buying Limpopo water from Zimbabwe. The agreement between the two countries is for South Africa to buy treated water from Zimbabwe since Beitbridge Treatment Water Works has capacity to provide water for the two towns of Beitbridge and Musina. The two implementing agents to oversee the construction projects are South African Development Bank, and the Zimbabwe National Water Authority, and the completion of the projects is expected to be in 2026. https://factcheckzw.org/limpopo-river-a-shared-resource-south-africa-doesnt-buy-limpopo-water-from-zimbabwe/
