ZAOGA leader Mai Guti has allegedly rejected an offer from businessman Wicknell Chivayo. Chivayo has been gifting luxury cars to high-profile figures. His beneficiaries include Mapositori leaders, Prophet Ian Ndlovu, musicians, and actors.
These lavish gifts, often delivered with large sums of cash, have raised eyebrows across Zimbabwe. Critics like journalist Hopewell Chin’ono have accused Chivayo of distributing “black money.”
They question his wealth and links to political power. Some say it’s all about loyalty to the ruling government. Social media has been abuzz with mixed reactions.
Many awaited to see if ZAOGA would accept Chivayo’s latest offering. It was a test of values versus wealth, faith versus influence.
Guti’s ZAOGA Rejects Chivayo Offer
According to New Zimbabwe, the ZAOGA church declined Wicknell Chivayo’s generous offer. He had pledged a brand-new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser and USD250,000. His message was to honour the late Archbishop Ezekiel Guti.
However, the Church stood firm. A senior ZAOGA member shared, “We are founded on righteousness and the Word of God. The Kingdom of God is enough for us.” The statement reflected their spiritual discipline and teachings from their founder.
A close Guti family member added, “We only saw the offer on social media. There was no formal communication.” The family stressed that honouring Baba Guti must please God, not man. The Church promised to respond appropriately in time. This dignified stance reinforced their independence and core beliefs.
What It Means
ZAOGA’s refusal sends a bold message to Chivayo and his critics. It shows the Church values integrity over material gain. For followers, the move has been refreshing and encouraging.
Many praised the decision online as a return to true Christianity. For Chivayo, the rejection might spark deeper public scrutiny. People may now question the sincerity behind his gifts.
While others chase influence, ZAOGA remains grounded. The rejection proves that not every honour must come with a price.
