Controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo has made headlines once again, this time boasting about his wealth by gifting brand new vehicles to his cook and personal helpers. Over the weekend, Chivayo proudly shared the news on social media, revealing that he had bought them new Mercedes-Benz cars.

“I gifted my cook and helpers with brand new Mercedes-Benz gifts,” Chivayo wrote, showcasing his generosity. He continued, highlighting the contributions of his staff, saying, “✔️Kubva Kune Vanowacha Magemenzi ✔️Vanomhanya nechikafu PaSowe ✔️Security Yavo Pamasowe ✔️NeUmwe Welogistics.”

Chivayo’s lavish display of wealth comes at a time when he remains a highly controversial figure in Zimbabwe. The businessman, known for his ties to Zanu PF, is accused of looting state funds, with critics alleging that he took advantage of his proximity to President Emmerson Mnangagwa. His extravagant gifts to his staff seem to further fuel the perception that Chivayo’s wealth is built on questionable practices.

While Chivayo’s actions have sparked mixed reactions, with some praising his generosity and others condemning the ostentatious display of wealth amidst ongoing economic struggles, he continues to assert his position as a prominent figure in both the business world and political circles.
