Businessman Wicknell Chivayo donated $15,000 to assist with the medical needs of Geoff Nyarota, a veteran journalist and former Chronicle Editor. Chivayo acknowledged this donation in a statement, noting that Nyarota was an exception to his usual dislike of journalists, especially those who use unethical tactics.
Chivayo recognized Nyarota's significant contributions and remarkable career, despite their differences in opinion and political affiliation. He instructed Nyarota's wife to collect the funds from his lawyer to cover the medical expenses.
The businessman emphasized the importance of compassion during this time, rather than using Nyarota's health condition to attack the government or promote divisive opinions. He acknowledged the progress made by the Second Republic in healthcare, such as installing dialysis and chemotherapy machines in public hospitals.
Chivayo encouraged constructive solutions and discouraged exploiting a person's suffering for political gain. He emphasized the spirit of humanism, stating that all people are part of one family in the eyes of God and should support each other in times of need. He concluded by wishing Nyarota a speedy recovery.
