In a surprising turn of events, a popular Zimbabwean musician who recently received a luxurious $150,000 Mercedes-Benz from businessman Wicknell Chivayo was spotted at Magaba in Mbare, getting the high-end vehicle repaired. The sight caused a stir among locals, as many gathered to catch a glimpse of the flashy car in one of Harare’s most well-known informal industrial areas. Eyewitnesses were shocked to see such an expensive vehicle being serviced in a place more associated with second-hand parts and backyard mechanics than elite car dealerships.
The musician, who has been making headlines for both his music and newfound wealth, remained calm and interacted briefly with fans. Social media was quickly flooded with pictures and videos, sparking debate about whether the gift was genuine or just for show. Critics questioned the durability of the car or the maintenance choices, while supporters defended the artist, saying it was a smart move to avoid overpriced garages. Whatever the case, the sight of a Benz worth over a million Zimbabwean dollars rolling through Mbare definitely turned heads and raised eyebrows.
