Munetsi, who is a Zimbabwean International was signed by South AfricanNational First Division side Cape Town in July 2015. The team released a statement saying that he was “…in the mold of a typical Yaya Toure. Big‚ strong‚ mobile and a good passer of the ball.” He made his professional debut on 26 September 2015 during a 3–1 loss to Black Leopards and scored his first goal in a derby match against Milano United on 16 April 2016, where it ended up being the winning goal in a 1–0 game. He attended trials with the Orlando Pirates, in December 2015.

On 11 June 2019, Munetsi signed for Ligue 1 club Stade De Reims on a four-year deal and is currently enjoying his best season for them in terms of output where he is currently registering 0.51 xG + xAG per 90 which is higher than he has been able to manage during his previous years in France.
