Sungura musician Nicholas Zakaria has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Wicknell Chivayo after the controversial businessman gave him a brand-new car.
Chivayo announced this Monday, March 25, that Zakaria should collect a 2024 Toyota Fortuner 2.8D 4×4 GD6 vehicle from Exquisite Dealership.
Chivayo said the car gift was to recognise Zakaria’s continued support at ZANU PF, his participation at national events and also his “significant and remarkable contribution” to the music industry in the country. In response, Zakaria said:
Ndaona hukuru hwaMwari. Zvinhu zvakadai ndizvo zvinoita zuva nezuva ndirambe ndichirumbidza musiki.
Chaingova chishuwo chekuti dai ndatengawo imwe motokari inorerutsa basa pakufamba asi Mwari vaiziva kuti pane nzira yazvichaitika nayo.
Sir Wicknell, ini nemhuri yangu handigone kukutendai kanokwana. Zita renyu richagara nekusingaperi paminamato yangu kusvika magamuchidzwa chese chamunoda nemoyo wenyu.
Rambai mune moyo wekupa. Rambai makamira nesu . Ndichitendawo vabereki vakatiunzira Sir Wicknell pasi pezuva. Tinotenda zvikuru.
(I have seen the greatness of God. It is because of such things that I continue to praise the Creator. It was my wish to buy another car to make travel easier but God knew he had a plan. Sir Wicknell, my family and I are truly grateful. I will remember you in my prayers forever until God grants you the desires of your heart.)
Chivayo has given cars to multiple artistes over the past several months. On March 8, Chivayo gifted musician Alick Macheso a new car.
