Wicknell Chivayo, the flamboyant businessman known for his extravagant spending, has once again made headlines with his lavish generosity.
This time, he has gifted a stunning 2022 Mercedes Benz GLE 400d 4MATIC, valued at an impressive $110,000, to his lawyer Sylvester Munya Hashiti.
This latest act of generosity seems to rekindle Chivayo’s penchant for rolling out luxury vehicles, and it has certainly caught the attention of social media.
In a post that quickly went viral, Chivayo proudly unveiled his gift to Hashiti, referring to him as more than just a lawyer—he has become like a brother to him.
Wicknell expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support Hashiti provided during his legal struggles, commending the lawyer for his keen attention to detail and sound advice. “This is just a small token of my appreciation,” Chivayo remarked, highlighting the significant role Hashiti played in his life.
Adding a touch of humor to the occasion, Chivayo described his lawyer as a “pedestrian,” jokingly stating that his extravagant gift would help break the “generation curse.” It was a lighthearted way to emphasize how he believes in lifting those around him through acts of kindness and generosity.
This isn’t the first time Chivayo has made headlines for his sumptuous gifts. Just two days earlier, he continued his philanthropic streak by donating a brand-new Toyota Fortuner to Daisy Mtukudzi, the widow of the beloved music legend Oliver Mtukudzi. That event also attracted attention, with well-known figures such as popular musician Jah Prayzah and Nick Mangwana, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, present to witness the occasion.
Chivayo’s latest gestures have sparked discussions online, highlighting the mix of admiration and skepticism that often surrounds his high-profile acts of generosity. While some commend him for his philanthropy, others are wary of the implications and the motivations behind such extravagant displays. Regardless, it’s evident that Wicknell Chivayo continues to occupy a unique space in Zimbabwe’s social and business landscape, characterized by a blend of luxury, controversy, and the spirit of generosity.
