A missing Mwenezi man was found dead near the edge of Emangonde River after six months.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson, Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa, confirmed the discovery of Nhamo Muzenda (55) from Chivhuru Village under Chief Chitanga in Mwenezi, and said investigations were ongoing to determine the cause of death.
“We confirm the discovery of human remains believed to be those of Nhamo Muzenda, who was reported missing in January. The remains were identified by his wife based on the clothes. Investigations are currently ongoing to determine the cause of death. We urge anyone with information to come forward,” said Inspector Dhewa.
Muzenda allegedly left home in January 2025, saying he was going to work at Zimbabwe Bio Energy. His wife, Eliza Beture (54), became worried when she failed to reach him on his cell phone.
She called his workplace and was told he had never reported for duty. She then filed a missing person report at the Mwenezi Police Station.
On July 14, at around 1:00 p.m, his remains were found, and a police report was made. Police attended the scene and took the body to Masvingo Provincial Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
