Chivhayo, has dismissed allegations of corruption and money laundering detailed in a recent financial intelligence report originating from South Africa. The report claims Chivhayo was involved in illicit financial transactions and clandestine dealings in South Africa, but the tenderpreneur has categorically denied all accusations, calling them baseless and politically motivated.
In a lengthy and defiant statement posted on his social media platforms, Chivhayo said he was aware that so-called “financial intelligence reports” from institutions in both South Africa and Zimbabwe had surfaced online in recent weeks. He claimed these reports were designed to create the false impression that he or his affiliated companies were engaged in criminal conduct.
“These reports, unfortunately, appear designed to insinuate criminal conduct, corruption or money laundering in relation to legitimate commercial transactions and lawfully binding contracts involving companies affiliated with me,” said Chivhayo. “As I have stated before—without ambiguity or fear of contradiction—I have not committed any offence, nor have any of my companies acted unlawfully in any manner whatsoever.”
He emphasized that executing government contracts and receiving payment for services rendered is not a crime. “The fact that the contract value runs into millions is not evidence of any criminality. That alone cannot be the basis to allege corruption,” said Chivhayo. “I can’t be responsible for people’s ignorance of basic business principles. No money is just stolen, like some idiots think. If that were the case, the majority of Zimbabweans would be millionaires by now.”

Chivhayo insisted that all his business dealings are legally compliant and governed by valid contracts. He criticized those who misunderstand public procurement processes and offered to sponsor their education: “If anyone is struggling to understand how public procurement functions, I’ll gladly pay your night school fees.”
He argued that there is no complainant, no missing funds, and no crime committed, only an orchestrated effort to create a scandal. “This is a deliberate manipulation of facts to fit a political narrative aimed at discrediting individuals and undermining State institutions,” he said.
Addressing older claims that he benefited from inflated Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) contracts, Chivhayo again denied any involvement. “I have never had any business dealings with ZEC. They have publicly confirmed there is no contractual relationship with me, past or present. So, the idea that I profited from inflated payments is not only false but utterly illogical and, frankly, stupid.”
Chivhayo alleged that the ongoing accusations are driven by political motives, spearheaded by what he described as self-exiled fugitives and opposition actors who have repeatedly failed at the polls. He said these individuals aim to undermine Zimbabwe’s constitutionally elected government by attacking figures aligned with the ruling ZANU-PF party.
“These baseless allegations are not about any real concern with crime or contracts,” Chivhayo said. “They’re about who I’m seen to support politically. But I am not afraid. I stand by my record and have nothing to hide.”
He noted that his legal teams in both Zimbabwe and South Africa share his view that the allegations are part of a coordinated political attack rather than a genuine law enforcement inquiry. “My lawyers see this as a witch hunt and a phishing expedition,” said Chivhayo.
In closing, Chivhayo reaffirmed his political allegiance and personal ambitions. “No amount of threats, propaganda, or manufactured scandals will ever deter me from supporting ZANU-PF, standing with the President I believe in, or chasing my destiny to become the youngest billionaire in Zimbabwe—and, God willing, in Africa.”
