According to Mwebantu, authorities discovered Moonga with a woman inside one of the lodge's rooms.
The missing man visited his 31-year-old daughter on 8 July at around 3pm and never returned home.
Police deputy spokesperson Danny Mwale said this resulted in the daughter reporting her father missing.
"On July 10, around 12:30pm, his daughter informed officers that she received a phone call from an unknown person using Moonga's contact number," read the police report.
How did the police find him?
The caller allegedly identified himself as a police officer in charge of a station, but he did not disclose the name of the station.
The "officer" stated that they were holding the victim in custody and demanded money for his release. Mr Mwale reported that police ramped up their investigations, and on 13 July, they found the "victim" with a 37-year-old woman at a lodge.
Investigations revealed that R2,104.50 was required to settle the bills Moonga and the woman had accumulated at the lodge. Mr Mwale informed the media that Moonga is currently in police custody.
