Club career
Chafa began his career with Dynamos, his spell with Dynamos was mainly a success as he left in 2015 following four Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League medals and two Mbada Diamonds Cup medals but he did suffer a thirty-day suspension after testing positive for a banned substance by FIFA in 2013.[1][2][3][4] The reasoning behind his departure in 2015 was that new Dynamos manager David Mandigora did not renew his contract.[5] After leaving in 2015, Chafa signed for How Mine with whom he remained with until 2016 when he joined CAPS United.[6][7] He left CAPS in December 2017.[8]
Two months later, Chafa signed for Zambian Premier League side Buildcon.[9] Buildcon released Chafa in August 2018.[10] He returned to Zimbabwe with Platinum a month later.[11] 2020 saw Chafa join Ngezi Platinum.[12]

Personal life
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chafa was accused on breaking lockdown rules by playing local "money games" with amateur footballers in Budiriro.[15] Chafa denied these claims, though his Ngezi Platinum manager Rodwell Dhlakama publicly condemned him for the games.[15][16]
