Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo on Thursday, 05 October gifted ZIYA Cultural Arts Trust trio cast, Sabhuku Vharazipi<\/b>, Chairman and Mbuya Mai John, US$10 000 cash each.<\/p>\n

This was after the comedians produced a video in which they praised him and President Emmerson Mnangagwa for gifting artistes such as Chief Hwenje and DJ Masomere with luxurious vehicles.<\/p>\n

Previously, Chivayo (DJ) David Masomere, a teacher at Ndarama High School in Masvingo, received a brand new Toyota GD6 and a house from Chivayo.<\/p>\n

He also donated a Toyota GD6 and house to another ZANU PF praise singer Chief Hwenje for his song \u201cMai Welly\u201d.<\/p>\n

The previous week, Chivayo shared a post on his social media pages promising to give out cash to Sabhuku Vharazipi (whose real name is David Mubaiwa), Mai John (Kumbirai Chikonye), and Chairman (Wellington Chidara).<\/p>\n

And, exactly a week after Chivayo made the announcement, Vharazipi and crew were each given US$10 000.<\/p>\n

He also gave each of the artistes US$2000 for refuelling.<\/p>\n

Speaking after receiving the money, Vharazipi joked that he also needed a car. He said:<\/p>\n

Basa raitwa nemukuru tinoritenda, tazviona asi sabhuku vanofamba neshoka. We appreciate what Chivayo has done for us but the village head doesn\u2019t have a car.<\/p>\n

After the donations, the ZIYA Cultural Arts Trust trio joined Chivayo and Chief Hwenje for a group photo.<\/p>\n

Chivayo\u2019s source of wealth is not known but he has been reported to have close ties with top politicians in Zimbabwe including former President Robert Mugabe\u2018s family.<\/p>\n
