Businessman and philanthropist Sir Wicknell Chivayo has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to supporting faith leaders and uplifting communities through his acts of generosity. This week, two respected spiritual leaders from the Johanne Masowe Chishanu Apostolic Church were honoured in an extraordinary way for their dedication, service, and selfless leadership.
Chivayo, known for his strong ties to the church and his appreciation of its principles, announced that Madzibaba Lawrence Katsiru of the Marondera Branch and Madzibaba Israel Muhana of the Coca-Cola Branch were each gifted brand-new 2025 Mercedes-Benz luxury SUVs. These gifts, according to Chivayo, are a token of gratitude for their continued devotion and commitment to the spiritual well-being of their congregants.

Celebrating a Divine Calling
In the Johanne Masowe Chishanu Apostolic Church, leadership is not seen as a mere title but as a divine calling with a sacred purpose. The church, rooted in teachings of love, prayer, and unity, holds its leaders to the highest standards of spiritual and moral guidance. According to Chivayo, these values—rudo (love), tsitsi (mercy), and kunamata (prayer)—are not only preached but also lived daily by the church’s leaders.
“We have witnessed how inspired leadership brings these values to life in each of us,” Chivayo stated in his heartfelt tribute. “Guided by unwavering faith and humility, our leaders have dedicated themselves to serving both God and the congregation.”
He emphasized that the church is a spiritual home, a place where members are uplifted mentally and spiritually—“tiri church yemweya, inotipa pfungwa ne ndangariro dzemweya.”
Honouring Madzibaba Katsiru and Madzibaba Muhana
The spotlight was placed on Madzibaba Lawrence Katsiru and Madzibaba Israel Muhana, who were praised for leading their congregations with unshakable faith, compassion, and selflessness. Their guidance has, according to many congregants, “comforted the weary, uplifted the downtrodden, and drawn countless souls closer to God.”
In recognition of this profound impact, Madzibaba Katsiru was awarded a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC, a high-end SUV known for its luxury and comfort. Likewise, Madzibaba Muhana received a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE 300d 4MATIC, a symbol of both status and elegance.
“With the greatest respect,” Chivayo noted, “please go and see Victor at Exquisite Car Dealership. Both your cars are fully paid for and ready for collection.”
A Message of Faith and Prosperity
Chivayo’s gesture is not just one of wealth and material generosity—it is deeply spiritual. In his message, he drew parallels between the faith journey of the church’s leaders and the story of Abraham, the biblical patriarch who was richly blessed by God. “Like our father Abraham,” Chivayo said, “we shall conquer the riches of this world and inherit the kingdom of God.”
He further remarked that it was only fitting for such dedicated leaders to “drive around in high-end comfort and style that reflects and befits your great calling.”
Looking Ahead to August Gathering
Chivayo’s announcement also touched on the upcoming Musangano Wegore in August, an annual gathering that draws members of the Johanne Masowe Chishanu church from across the country. He expressed hope that these vehicles would make a grand entrance at the event, symbolizing both God’s blessings and the power of unwavering service.
As many in the community continue to reflect on this gesture, it’s clear that Sir Wicknell Chivayo’s generosity is about more than luxury—it is about recognizing leadership, inspiring faith, and honouring divine service with tangible acts of appreciation.
