Norton politician Temba Mliswa accused Vice President Constantino Chiwenga of requesting six Rolls-Royce vehicles from businessman Wicknell Chivayo on Sept. 29, 2025. Mliswa stated Chiwenga allegedly sought $250,000 for wedding preparations, received another $250,000 as a gift during the ceremony, and obtained $250,000 for a honeymoon at a Seychelles resort. The legislator claimed the couple received 1 million rand for shopping trips, and Chiwenga later requested $450,000 to purchase three apartments for his children.
Mliswa asserted that more than $1 million changed hands over two months, but tensions arose when payments arrived slowly. He suggested the subsequent anti-corruption campaign targeting Chivayo stemmed from their deteriorating relationship rather than genuine reform efforts. Mliswa stated his claims could withstand court scrutiny, and he challenged Chiwenga to address the allegations publicly.
