Controversial businessman and ruling party donor Wicknell Chivayo has gifted 1.8 million dollars to members of his church in Marondera. Each of the six thousand congregants will receive three hundred dollars cash and two gift hampers for Christmas.
This is the latest in a series of extravagant public donations from Chivayo, whose total disclosed giveaways this year reportedly exceed seventy-five million dollars. He is a frequent donor to various influencers, artists, and politicians connected to the Zanu PF party. The wealthy Intratrek Zimbabwe CEO, often seen with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, recently had a corruption investigation into a major election materials tender dropped by authorities.
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission stated they found no evidence linking him to the suspect contract. Critics have questioned the decision, while the president has previously defended Chivayo as a philanthropist.
