Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Wicknell Chivayo recently introduced his girlfriend, Lucy \u201cLulu\u201d Muteke, to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, sparking curiosity and raising questions about the nature of the relationship between the two men.<\/p>\n

It is rare for someone to casually introduce their \u201cwife-to-be\u201d to the Head of State at State House, making this event all the more notable.<\/p>\n

Posting on social media this Saturday, Chivayo described the reception they received from President Mnangagwa as \u201cnothing short of remarkable.\u201d He wrote:<\/p>\n

Yesterday on my way to church, I had the GREATEST pleasure and distinct honour of introducing my soon-to-be wife to HIS EXCELLENCY, the President.<\/p>\n

The highlight of it all is that my WIFE hails from the esteemed SHUMBA clan, saka ndatove MUKWASHA to the President himself, being a SHUMBA MURAMBWI… Hanzi \u201cIwe mfana une chokwadi kuda kuroora mwana wangu?\u201d Ndikati ndingadii nhai Your Excellency KANA NDANYURA !!!
\nOur reception was nothing short of REMARKABLE and with his characteristic humour and satire, His Excellency warmly welcomed my wife as a DAUGHTER of the ROYAL Shumba lineage, inviting her to sit beside him , ini seMUKWASHA ndichingo ombera.<\/p>\n

I deeply appreciate His Excellency\u2019s wisdom shared on the principles of LOVE, respect, responsibility, mutual compassion and the importance of COMMITMENT in the institution of marriage.<\/p>\n

President Mnangagwa recently described Wicknell Chivayo as a philanthropist who uses his own resources to support charitable activities.<\/p>\n

During a meeting with editors at State House, Mnangagwa dismissed allegations that Chivayo was acting as his \u201cfrontman\u201d by distributing vehicles, cash, and other donations to various individuals, including members of the ruling ZANU PF party.<\/p>\n

He asserted that he does not fund Chivayo\u2019s activities and urged critics to investigate the source of Chivayo\u2019s funds if they had any concerns.<\/p>\n
