Fulfilling a public promise, President Mnangagwa personally handed the comedian a brand-new Ford Raptor at State House, along with a cash bonus of US$10,000 and a house.
Shortly after, businessman Wicknell Chivayo added a jaw-dropping US$150,000 cash gift, praising the comedian for his talent and instructing him to "buy a decent house."
Public Reaction & Significance
City Parking’s move was widely applauded on social media, with many describing it as a fitting tribute to a rising star and a positive example of how institutions can support the creative arts in Zimbabwe.
The company stated that the exemption symbolizes not only an appreciation for Comic Elder’s achievements but also highlights the importance of celebrating local innovation and creativity. For an entertainer who rose to fame through humorous and relatable skits that have captivated audiences across the country, this wave of recognition marks a powerful endorsement of homegrown talent.
