Tocky Vibes’ Mercedes-Benz, the one famously gifted to him by Wicknell Chivayo, has reportedly caught fire and burned, sending shockwaves across social media. The musician, who was among the artists accused of being bribed to publicly support Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030, has long struggled to keep up with the high maintenance costs of the luxury vehicle.
Fans are not surprised, as Tocky was previously spotted pushing the same car after it ran out of fuel and even taking it for makeshift repairs at Magaba in Mbare, a far cry from its elite status. Now, with the Benz going up in flames, the incident has reignited debate about flashy political gifts, their true cost, and the pressure they place on struggling artists.
