Harare, Zimbabwe—Wicknell Chivayo, a prominent Zimbabwean businessman, has made vehicle donations that have been questioned about their legitimacy.
Critics allege that Chivayo has not actually donated vehicles worth US$10 million over the past 12 months, as he claims. They argue that the statement is misleading and serves to conceal potential money laundering activities.
Concerns have been voiced about the valuation of the donated vehicles. Some believe the cars were significantly overvalued.
Economists and tax experts in Zimbabwe have remained silent on the potential tax implications of Chivayo's donations. The fact that he is not donating to registered charities has further fueled suspicion.
Calls have been made for Chivayo and his associates to be investigated and held accountable to the Zimbabwean people. Authorities have not yet commented on whether they will pursue an inquiry.
Chivayo has not responded to requests for comment on these allegations. The validity of the claims against him remains unclear at this time.
