Meanwhile, authorities are working to establish the identities of all victims formally.
Police have confirmed that six people were aboard the helicopter.
The aircraft reportedly included Chivayo, his wife, other passengers and two pilots.
The crash has since drawn widespread attention across Zimbabwe and the region.
