A source said: 'He would disappear for days without trace and he would be foundwalking around naked.'Mr Chiwayo was also reported to have assaulted South Africa's Bheki Langa at an official function in Beijing.
The 44-year-old has denied he was recalled saying it is 'general practice' for envoys to be reassigned.
He dismissed the naked wandering stories and insisted his relationship with Dr Langa was 'healthy and cordial'.
'All that you are saying is news to me,' he told the Sunday World. 'I don't have any health challenges that need intervention from the department.'
