Komati River

The Komati River, also known as the Inkomati River or Incomati River (in Mozambique, from Portuguese Rio Incomati), is a river in South Africa, Eswatini and Mozambique. Originating in north-western Eswatini, it is joined by the Crocodile River in the Lebombo Mountains, enters far south-western Mozambique below the border town of Komatipoort, and enters the Indian Ocean around 24 km (15 mi) north-east of Maputo. It is 480 kilometres (298 mi) long, with a drainage basin 50,000 square kilometres (19, 300 sq mi) in size. Its mean annual discharge is 111 m3/s (3, 920 cfs) at its mouth. The name Komati is derived from inkomati, meaning "cow" in siSwati, as its perennial nature is compared to a cow that always has milk.
