President Emmerson Mnangagwa praises Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo, highlighting his “philanthropy” and telling him to “stay in that lane” and that “the more you give, the more you receive.” The remarks are reported in coverage linked to an apostolic sect national event.
Several outlets describe Chivayo as a high-profile figure known for donating vehicles and large sums of cash, along with maintaining close proximity to power across Southern Africa. Zimbabwe Independent and New Zimbabwe both frame Mnangagwa’s comments as recognition of interventions that they say benefit people in society. While both accounts emphasize the charitable aspect of Chivayo’s activity, they differ mainly in wording and in the added background each source provides about his public image and connections.
Together, the reports portray Mnangagwa’s praise as a public endorsement of Chivayo’s giving, without detailing specific programs or amounts in the excerpts provided.
