ZAOGA church leader Eunor Guti rejected businessman Wicknell Chivayo's expensive donation offer in May 2025. Chivayo proposed giving the widow a Toyota Land Cruiser VXR 300 Series vehicle plus $250,000 cash as tribute to her deceased husband, Archbishop Ezekiel Guti. The controversial entrepreneur announced this gesture publicly on social media platforms and claimed the car awaited delivery pending church approval. Guti told her congregation that accepting such gifts would contradict fundamental religious principles she and her late spouse maintained throughout their ministry. She emphasized that divine guidance led her to refuse the offer altogether.
Church leadership experienced internal discussions regarding whether to accept Chivayo's proposal or decline it based on ethical concerns. An unknown representative approached Guti, attempting to persuade her to take the donation despite her initial reluctance. The church matriarch revealed she had already decided against receiving any contributions from sources that seemed questionable or inappropriate. Guti disclosed that another individual recently offered the church $2 million, which she similarly rejected for identical moral reasons. She maintains that ZAOGA will continue operating without accepting funds from unclear origins.
