Controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo has shocked many after bragging that he has captured President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the system.
The Unconventional Rise Of Wicknell Chivayo
Chivayo has seemingly gotten close to President Mnangagwa in the last few months. At the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair, he was with the President during his meeting with Kenyan President William Ruto.
During Easter, he flew with President Mnangagwa in his Presidential helicopter to the ZCC pilgrimage in Masvingo. He has also been seen with the President at various commissioning events and Mnangagwa’s farm in Kwekwe.
Last month, Newshawks revealed that Chivayo got the US$40 million contract to supply biometric voter registration kits and other electoral materials during the August 2023 elections.
In 2015, Chivayo’s Intratrek got a US$172 million tender for the Gwanda Solar Project. Nine years later, nothing has been done on the site despite Wicknell getting a US$5 million advance payment.
Wicknell Chivayo Brags About How He Has Captured President Mnangagwa
Earlier today, Newshawks released audio of Wicknell Chivayo allegedly bragging about how he captured President Mnangagwa and the system.
In the audio, Chivayo gloats that he has a tight grip on the system and is now its blue-eyed boy, getting all important contracts. He revealed that the President now considers him a son.
Chivayo said when the President went to the Italy-Africa Summit, he held his hand and gave him orders on what to do in his absence.
Even though public procurements must go through a competitive tender process, Chivayo disclosed that he will likely get a Zimbabwe Republic Police and an immigration tender. He told Moses Mpofu of Better Brands Security and Mike Chimombe that he could pay them US$100,000 to get by, but they should not make noise.
