The Zimbabwe Ant-Corruption Commission (ZACC) will soon commence investigations on controversial businessman Wicknell Chivhayo to establish the source of his wealth, according to a leaked memo.
Chivhayo has been unstoppable, donating top of the range cars to local and international celebrities and his Johane Masowe church mates and this has raised eyebrows.
“On 23 June 2023, ZACC had decided to investigate Chivhayo’s source of wealth following his donation of 50 Toyota Aqua vehicles to the church members,” read the memo.
He has since splashed over US$5 million on high-end vehicles for musicians and chanters that he argues were instrumental in ensuring President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s electoral triumph last year.
Jah Prayzah, Zim Dancehall DJ Fantan, Sandra Ndebele, and Sulumani Chimbetu, all received Mercedes Benz cars from a local dealership, Exquisite, which is also being investigated by ZACC.
Chivhayo said, “He has been purchasing luxurious vehicles of late either for himself, his spouse, or church congregates and posting the purchases on his social media which have raised a lot of suspicions that the Respondent is involved in illicit activities”.
By continuing doing so such cases tended to alert those who might be targets to investigations. Chivhayo took to social media to accuse ZACC officers of being overzealous and initiating the investigations so that he would donate to them.
“Some overzealous law enforcement officials are running back and forth wasting government resources hoping and dreaming a report will come soon. You will wait forever, you will not find anything said Chivhayo.
This is a blessing from the heavens and even though, where would one steal so much money? Give respect where it’s due. What hurts me the most is that you visit the Car Sale and start questioning my purchase of Aquas for members of our apostolic church including 65-year-olds who have never bought a car their entire lives. Why did you not just request that the Aquas program be extended to you at ZACC?
