Chizuze reportedly went missing on February 8 and his whereabouts still remain a mystery.
“Yes, I can confirm that we recovered a Nissan twincab at the border after police received information that it had been parked there for a long time,†she said.
“The vehicle is now in the hands of detectives in Beitbridge who are making frantic efforts to establish who the owner is.
“We have not yet established whether it belonged to a missing person and investigations are still underway.â€
Chizuze’s younger brother Charles Phiri was hostile when NewsDay contacted him for comment yesterday.
The activist was last seen as he left his home in February driving a white Nissan twincab truck, registration ACJ 3446.
Four months later, 10 Bulawayo-based civic society groups published a newspaper notice advising the public about Chizuze’s mysterious disappearance.
The organisations said they feared he could have been abducted or murdered.
Chizuze was employed as a paralegal official at Amani Trust and worked closely with Education, Sport, Arts and Culture minister David Coltart.
Fellow human rights activists said Chizuze was one of the many volunteers who had offered to search for Coltart’s election agent, Patrick Nabanyama, who also disappeared at the height of political violence in 2000 and has since been declared dead.
In one of his recent Twitter messages, Coltart said of Chizuze: “I am very distressed about the disappearance of a good friend and colleague.â€
