The 27-year-old left Harare yesterday for Maritzburg, where he was expected to sign a contract before the transfer deadline at 11pm.
Caps United team manager, Shakespeare Chinogwenya confirmed the forward was in South Africa.
“He left today and I understand he is doing his medicals as we speak,” Chinogwenya said yesterday afternoon.
“With the transfer deadline closing tonight, I don’t think he is there for trials but just to sign a contract. They asked him to bring a police clearance, which shows they want to sign him.”
Media reports from South Africa also quoted Maritzburg United officials yesterday confirming Zhuwawu’s arrival.
“There’s a Zimbabwean striker they are signing. The club management was busy with processes from yesterday (Tuesday) on making sure that he’s registered on time before the window closes at midnight,” an unnamed officials was quoted by KickOff.com.
