Club career

South Africa

Kwizera was without club until 27 December 2019, where he signed a six-month deal with newly promoted Rwanda Premier League club, Gasogi United Heroes FC.

Saudi Arabia

In September 2022, Kwizera joined Saudi Second Division side Al-Kawkab.

International career

The goalkeeper was unavailable for the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations second leg qualifier opposing Uganda on account of a debilitating wound on his right ankle.
