Sir Wicknell Chivayo donates 2 luxury cars to ZCC leaders in recognition of charitable work! Controversial Zimbabwean businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo has once again made headlines for his extravagant generosity. This time, the wealthy entrepreneur has gifted two brand new luxury vehicles—a 2025 Range Rover Autobiography SV and a 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series—to Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi and Amai Mutendi of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) in Masvingo.
The donation, valued at nearly US$600,000, was made as a gesture of appreciation for the church’s philanthropic efforts and community empowerment projects.

Continuing a Tradition of Giving
Chivayo, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and charitable endeavors, took to social media to share the news under the caption, “TIRIPA JOIN YE ZION 🙏🏼…”. In his lengthy and passionate post, he praised the ZCC’s commitment to compassion and service, especially towards vulnerable groups such as orphans, the elderly, and those living in poverty.
“Nothing is more fulfilling in this life than witnessing compassion being expressed towards the less privileged,” Chivayo wrote. He commended the leadership of Bishop Mutendi and Amai Mutendi for their tireless work in uplifting disadvantaged communities across Zimbabwe.
Transparency and Accountability Applauded
Chivayo also revealed that following his US$1 million donation to the ZCC in April 2023, the church provided him with audited financial statements, detailing how the funds had been used.
“So thorough is the ZCC that I was given very impressive audited financial statements clearly showing what the funds were used for,” he said, expressing his confidence in the church’s transparency and accountability.
He highlighted that the funds had been used to support hospitals, schools, and various charitable organisations under the church’s umbrella. This level of financial discipline, Chivayo claimed, strengthened his resolve to continue supporting the church.
Recognition of Bishop and Amai Mutendi
In a symbolic and heartfelt move, Chivayo personally visited a vehicle dealership to select what he called a “small token” of appreciation for the spiritual leaders. The Range Rover Autobiography SV, valued at US$400,000, was chosen for Bishop Mutendi, while the US$190,000 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series was gifted to Amai Mutendi.
“I was highly honoured to buy this top-of-the-range 2025 Range Rover Autobiography SV for the Bishop, and for Amai Mutendi a Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series, both brand new,” he said.
The businessman emphasized that the luxury vehicles were not just gifts, but tools to assist the church’s philanthropic and evangelical missions, particularly in hard-to-reach and rural areas.
Spiritual Fulfillment and National Vision
Chivayo further described his visits to ZCC strongholds Mbungo and Defe, where he was spiritually moved by the church’s work and dedication to national development.
“I was so impressed by the extensive initiatives the church has undertaken under your spiritual leadership,” he stated. From paying school fees for orphans to supporting the elderly and launching drought relief projects, Chivayo praised the ZCC’s alignment with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s mantra: “Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo” (A country is built by its own people).
Final Words of Blessing and Support
Chivayo concluded his announcement by expressing hope that the gifts would be accepted as a symbol of his appreciation and recognition of the “remarkable work of God” being carried out by the ZCC.
“May God richly and abundantly bless you forever,” he wrote in closing, reaffirming his spiritual support for Bishop Mutendi’s leadership and the church’s ongoing community service.
As reactions pour in online, Sir Wicknell Chivayo continues to spark conversation—both admiration and controversy—for his lavish yet purposeful approach to philanthropy.
