The Mzimkulu River is a river in South Africa.[2] In the past, the Mzimkulu formed part of the border between Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. Presently this river is part of the Mvoti to Umzimkulu Water Management Area.[3] In late February of every year, the river is host to one of South Africa's most popular canoe races, the Drak Challenge.[4]
