Chivayo Fights Back: Denies Corruption Claims, Vows Legal Action Over 'Fraudulent' Voice Notes
Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Munodaani Chivayo is vehemently denying allegations of corruption and extortion swirling around him on social media, refuting them as a malicious smear campaign orchestrated by alleged fraudsters.
In a comprehensive statement, Chivayo addresses viral voice messages claiming he wields undue influence over government officials, dismissing them as fabricated and vowing legal action against the perpetrators he identifies as failed extortionists.
A Categorical Rejection
Chivayo begins his statement by unequivocally rejecting the voice messages attributed to him. He maintains he never recorded them and condemns them as "fraudulent" creations designed to spread misinformation. He asserts his belief that this is a calculated smear campaign against him.
He believes the campaign stems from "two excitable individuals" – Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu – who allegedly made "outrageous demands" for payments without any legal basis. Chivayo dismisses them as "extortionists and fraudsters" resorting to intimidation tactics after their demands failed.
Maintaining Innocence
Chivayo adamantly denies having any business dealings with Chimombe and Mpofu or any connection to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), Department of Immigration, or Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) as implied in the voice messages. He encourages these government entities to publicly confirm his lack of involvement in their procurement processes to set the record straight.
Defense of the Presidency
The statement delves deeper, addressing the "political innuendos" embedded within the fabricated voice messages. Chivayo refutes attempts to discredit President E.D. Mnangagwa, the First Family, and the legitimacy of the recent elections. He clarifies his position as a "card-carrying member" of ZANU PF and denies exerting any influence over the President, his family, or government officials. He emphasizes his philanthropic work is limited to donations to the ED UNZA Scholarship and Angel of Hope Foundation.
Chivayo expresses his sincere apologies to President Mnangagwa, the First Lady, and any government official potentially tarnished by the fake voice messages. He pledges his full cooperation with a comprehensive investigation by the appropriate authorities, vowing to expose the truth behind this malicious campaign and clear his name as a law-abiding businessman who condemns all illicit conduct.
