Sonja and Chivayo shared two children
Madzikanda and Chivayo were previously together and have two children. Their relationship later ended, and the former couple became involved in a lengthy legal dispute over their relationship, property, and the welfare of their children.
The High Court proceedings attracted considerable attention earlier in 2026. In April, the court approved a consent settlement covering the children’s maintenance and parenting arrangements.
Funeral gathering moves to Gletwin
The funeral proceedings moved to Chivayo’s Gletwin property on Friday as relatives continued arriving.
ZimLive reported that Madzikanda had joined mourners at the house and was accompanied by her mother. The outlet also reported that the couple’s two children were receiving counselling.
The family is simultaneously dealing with the formal identification process following the crash, with DNA testing underway as authorities work to match remains to the victims.
For Sonja, her arrival at the Gletwin mansion places Chivayo’s former family alongside relatives mourning the businessman and Lucy as funeral arrangements continue.
