The history of the team can be traced back to the 1970s where a group of Zimbabwe Electricity South Authority (ZESA) and Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) members led by Dzingai James Kazizi, his friends Mambovatema and Kanyenze among other senior members who loved football organised for establish social soccer for employees. The seniors who were passionate about soccer, led to the establishment of a ZRA team while ZESA established its own. The two teams would play weekend social soccer matches together until they agreed to combine forces and establish a formidable force nicknamed "Kauya katuruturu" representing the mighty force of the Zambezi River and the super power of hydro-electric power.
The newly found team grew with time and around early 1990s it saw the rise of very good players. Notable was one goal keeper nicknamed "Chimupaga" who was famous for taking penalty kicks and would equally handle the same when between the posts. Katuruturu evolved overtime to be ZPC Kariba. The team has great potential to be one of the best football clubs in Zimbabwe.[6][7]
