Good morning Zimbabwe. It is a very long list, I will be adding more. Mbavha mujeri. Pasi nezvigananda. Viva Mkanya Chiwenga nevese vanoti huori ngahupere munyika munhu wese agute.
As we prepare the dockets, it is in the public interest that we provide a comprehensive record of Gifts by Wicknell Chivayo (as of September 24, 2025)
Below is a detailed compilation of reported cars and cash handouts gifted by Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo (also spelled Chivhayo), based on publicly available sources. This includes recipients, specific vehicle models (with years where mentioned), estimated costs (in USD unless noted), cash amounts, and approximate dates. I've structured it chronologically where possible, with recipients as headers for clarity. Note that some costs are estimates based on market values in Zimbabwe (which can include import duties), and not all sources provide exact figures or models. Gifts often appear tied to philanthropy, music industry support, church activities, or personal gestures, but have drawn scrutiny amid corruption allegations against Chivayo.
This list draws from multiple sources to ensure balance, including news outlets, social media announcements, and compilations. Totals are approximate and not exhaustive, as Chivayo's giving spree has been ongoing since at least 2017, with over US$5 million reported in vehicle spending alone by early 2024, escalating into 2025.
