Former ZANU-PF legislator Temba Mliswa reported that his vehicle was vandalized days after accusing Vice President Constantino Chiwenga of targeting businessman Wicknell Chivayo over unpaid personal debts, rather than corruption concerns. Mliswa claims Chiwenga demanded six Rolls-Royces and $250,000 for his wedding to Colonel Miniyothabo Baloyi, with Chivayo allegedly covering portions of the expenses. The former lawmaker says additional payments funded a $250,000 honeymoon in Seychelles and shopping trips totaling 2 million rand in South Africa.
Mliswa alleges the relationship soured when Chiwenga requested $450,000 for apartments but received only $300,000 from Chivayo. War veteran Blessed Geza accused Mliswa of accepting money from President Emmerson Mnangagwa's faction to undermine Chiwenga. The dispute highlights growing tensions within ZANU-PF over succession as Chiwenga promotes himself as an anti-corruption advocate while facing accusations of lavish spending.
Neither Chiwenga nor Chivayo has addressed the allegations. Mliswa posted on social media that he refuses intimidation and warned those responsible would face consequences.
