CCTV has been released showing the last time a 21-year-old man was seen in Swansea after a night out.
Tapiwa Matuwi was last spotted in the early hours of Thursday, February 7.
Matuwi, who graduated from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in 2018, was enjoying a night out in the city centre and had been at Fiction nightclub in Little Wind Street with friends before he went missing .
In new footage released by South Wales Police, Matuwi is seen entering McDonalds in Oxford Street before he is captured outside the restaurant heading towards Caer Street, New Cut Road and Quay Parade.
The last known sighting of the 21-year-old came at 7.06am at Swansea Yacht Club, around two and a half hours after he was last active on his WhatsApp account. His phone and bank card have not been used in the past five weeks.
Police now hope that the footage released might help witnesses recall details from the morning of February 7, including those who may have been in the area walking or running.
“We have a team dedicated to this investigation who have carried out extensive CCTV enquiries and spoken to a number of potential witnesses,” said Detective Inspector Matthew Davies of South Wales Police.
“We’ve identified a number of people captured in the footage, however, we know that there are other potential unidentified witnesses, including dog walkers and joggers, in the Marina area at the same time we see Tapi on CCTV at the Yacht Club.
“We’re releasing this footage in case it helps to jog anyone’s memory from that morning and I’d urge anyone who thinks they have information which may help – however insignificant it may seem – to come forward.
“Tapi has now been missing for five weeks, and it has been an agonising time for his family and friends who have been fully supportive of our investigation and have also been searching continuously for him.
“They are being updated and supported throughout the investigation and our thoughts, as always, remain with them at this extremely difficult time.”
Matuwi’s family have been involved in the search for their son, hunting the streets of Swansea and handing out posters in the city centre in a desperate attempt to find him.
His father, Munyaradzi Zvada, said: “We are living in a nightmare; since the day Tapi went missing everything has just stopped and come to a standstill.
“We are trying to stay strong but deep inside everyone in the family is just broken.”
Matuwi is described as approximately 6ft tall and of slim build. He has black hair which is orange on top, and a very light stubble.
If anyone has any information regarding his whereabouts they are asked to contact South Wales Police by calling 101, quoting reference 1900051830.
