WICKNELL CHIVAYO’S $100 MILLION ZEC SCANDAL: THE NET IS CLOSING IN

Wicknell Chivayo is in big trouble again. This time, it is not just talk. There is now an active investigation in South Africa, and it’s getting worse. The man who brags online and always posts about cars and suits is now fighting to explain how he got rich from the government.

Chivayo is very close to President Emmerson Mnangagwa. People say he gets government money through tenders because of politics, not because of his hard work. In the latest scandal, he is linked to a corrupt US$100 million deal involving the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) for the 2023 elections.

A South African company called Ren-Form was paid over US$66 million to supply election materials to Zimbabwe. From that money, Chivayo got more than US$40 million (R800 million). He says it was a legal deal, but South African investigators say it might be money laundering. The money went through many different accounts and companies, and now the authorities want answers.

The story first came out through The NewsHawks. Then other media started digging. Now the South African Financial Intelligence Centre is on the case. They are tracking the money and checking if Chivayo’s companies are involved in illegal business.

In response, Chivayo wrote a long message trying to clear his name. But the message was full of insults, big words, and confusion. He said people don’t understand business. He even called them idiots. He said the money was not stolen, and there is no missing money. He said all the contracts were legal and signed properly. He even joked that he can pay for people to go to night school to understand how public tenders work.

But here’s the problem. Even though he says he never worked with ZEC directly, the money still reached him. If he was not part of the tender, why did he get over US$40 million from it? Why did his companies receive so much from a deal meant for another company? That is what the investigators want to understand.

Chivayo is also trying to turn the story into politics. He says this is all a plan by people outside Zimbabwe who hate ZANU PF and want to bring down Mnangagwa’s government. He says these people are jealous of his success. He calls them fugitives and failed opposition supporters. He says they are angry because he supports the president.

But this is not about politics. It’s about public money. Zimbabwe is a poor country. Schools don’t have books. Hospitals don’t have medicine. Roads are broken. People sleep in queues for passports. And yet one man walks away with US$40 million from an election tender. That is what makes people angry.

Every time Chivayo is caught in a scandal, he plays the victim. He says it is a witch hunt. He blames the media, the opposition, or people in exile. But the facts remain. There is a money trail. There are bank records. There is an ongoing investigation. And there is too much silence from ZEC and the government.

Zimbabweans are tired. We are tired of thieves being called businessmen. We are tired of slogans hiding corruption. This is not just about Chivayo. It is about the whole system that lets a few people get rich while the rest of the country suffers.

No matter how much he shouts, the truth is coming. The courts will decide. But the people already know. This time, the lies are too many, the evidence is too strong, and the anger is too deep.

The game is over.
MAKATANGIRWA NE DARE.
