Businessman Wicknell Chivayo promised a bunch of new cars and two million dollars for charity programs. He posted about giving ten new Toyota Land Cruisers and a million dollars to a special welfare fund. Two other funds would each get five of those same vehicles and half a million dollars. He said these gifts need a thumbs-up from President Mnangagwa first. Chivayo mentioned this on Unity Day, talking up peace and national togetherness.
He framed the donations as a way for businesspeople to help the government with social programs. The vehicles are meant for outreach work connected to the charity funds. This follows other big gifts from him recently, like buses and over fifty cars for his church. He also gave six Land Cruisers and ten Toyota Hilux trucks to the Zanu PF Women's League, plus cash for the party's provincial branches. Another group for young women got five Hilux vehicles and a cash donation.
Chivayo has a history of flashy giving, including to musicians and marking his birthday with millions in donations. His latest pledge adds to a long list of presents for political, religious, and community groups across the country.
