Mutizwa, who scored the second goal in the 2-1 victory over Dynamos in the EasyCall Cup semi-final on Sunday at Barbourfields Stadium, appears to have impressed The Clever Boys and could be signing with the Absa Premier Soccer League side in the January transfer window.
He spent the whole of last week with the South African side before returning on Saturday in time for Highlanders’ Sunday clash with Dynamos. Mutizwa’s agent, Gibson Mahachi yesterday confirmed the striker had returned to South Africa.
“He has flown back to South Africa this afternoon (yesterday). He is going for his final assessment with Bidvest Wits and he will be back on Thursday to prepare for the Easycall Cup final,” he said.
The Harare-based agent was in Bulawayo at the weekend and held discussions with the Bosso management over their star striker’s future.
Mutizwa recently extended his stay at the Bulawayo giants, signing a new one-year contract.
The striker has attracted interest from other local clubs, with Caps United also making an offer.
