VP Chiwenga Wanted 6 Rolls Royces From Wicknell Chivayo: Mliswa Makes More Damning Allegations

Mliswa Claims Chiwenga Demanded 6 Rolls-Royces From Chivayo

Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is at the centre of explosive new claims after Norton politician Temba Mliswa alleged that the country’s second-in-command demanded six Rolls-Royces from businessman Wicknell Chivayo.

The allegations, made by Mliswa on his X account on 29 September 2025, have added fuel to an already tense political storm that began earlier this month.

Wedding Demands And Cash Gifts

According to Mliswa, the controversy began with financial promises made around the Vice President’s wedding.

He wrote:

“First of all the VP allegedly asked for 6 Rolls Royces for his wedding plus US$250,000 (about R4.6 million) for his wedding preparations. During the wedding itself he received US$250,000 (about R4.6 million) as a wedding gift. Of that amount only US$50,000 (about R930,000) was announced publicly at the wedding per his request.”

Mliswa further claimed the new couple received another US$250,000 (R4.6 million) for a honeymoon at the Four Seasons in Seychelles.

He continued:

“On their return, through South Africa the newly wedded VP’s partner allegedly got 1 million Rands for shopping. The VP himself reportedly asked and got another 1 million Rands to get a gift for his wife.”

Tensions Over More Money

The alleged requests reportedly did not end there. Mliswa said Chiwenga later sought US$450,000 (R8.4 million) to buy three apartments for his children.

He alleged:

“The couple received US$300,000 (R5.6 million), leaving a balance of US$150,000 (R2.8 million). However, the balance did not come as early as they expected while on his part Chivayo felt that the financial appetite and requests were too much.”

Within two months, Mliswa claimed, over US$1 million (R18.6 million) had exchanged hands, setting the stage for a bitter fallout.

“Anti-Corruption” Or Political Weapon?

Mliswa alleged that the breakdown in this relationship was later disguised as an anti-corruption fight.

He wrote:

“Over 2 months they had received over a US$1 million and this created the tension which ultimately led to what has been sold as an anti-corruption campaign to arrest Zvigananda.”

He added:

“A failure to promptly fulfil a financial promise is what irretrievably broke the relationship and has resulted in the sly move coined as an anti-corruption effort, to arrest the former ally.”

These remarks follow earlier interventions by Mliswa in September 2025. On 21 September, he declared that “everyone knows ZANU PF is bankrolled by Kuda Tagwirei,” accusing senior party figures, including Chiwenga, of hypocrisy over corruption claims. On 24 September, he warned that “power from the Army does not seamlessly translate to the political sphere where mass appeal is fundamental,” cautioning the Vice President against relying on military clout in politics.

In his latest posts, Mliswa insisted that the new claims were backed by facts.

“All this is information that can be proven and stands up to the rigorous test of truth in a Court. I have always stated that I don’t fight people but argue from a point of facts and principles for the greater national good.”

He concluded that the Vice President must respond:

“The onus is on the VP to comment on these allegations. Some of us have been fighting corruption for long and have suffered for it. I have nothing personal against the VP but only seek for sincerity when one alleges they are weeding out corruption.”

At the time of publishing, the Vice President had not yet issued a response.
