News just in from ZAOGA Forward in Faith Ministries:
Apostle Eunor Guti, widow of the late Archbishop Ezekiel Guti, has reportedly politely declined a lavish “gift” from state-protected corruption mascot and impunity billionaire Wicknell Chivayo—a 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series VXR and US$250,000 in cash.
Chivayo had extended his offer via a Facebook post, in what many saw as yet another clumsy attempt to buy holiness and legitimacy with stolen loot. While the exact wording of Apostle Guti’s response remains undisclosed, sources close to the church say the message was clear: No thank you. Take your corruption elsewhere.
A senior member of the church’s Men of Integrity movement added a fiery twist:
“We will not allow ourselves to be portrayed as Chivayo’s wives—widowed or otherwise.”
The movement is reportedly considering issuing a public statement to distance the church from the toxic generosity of a man whose philanthropy reeks of state-enabled plunder. Chivayo’s “gifts” have increasingly become tools of soft bribery, aimed at laundering political loyalty and religious credibility for a regime fast losing its moral currency.
It is still unclear whether the church will issue a formal public rejection or allow the matter to quietly die, reportedly Apostle Guti’s preferred route. But the moral message has already landed.
By turning down Chivayo’s Trojan Horse from the gates of hell, Apostle Eunor Guti becomes only the second Zimbabwean public figure to do so. The first was the lion-hearted music legend Thomas Mapfumo, who flat-out rejected a $1 million house and another million in cash.
In a country where many line up for dirty handouts from corrupt oligarchs, this refusal stands tall—a rare act of moral courage in the face of seductive rot.
