Sapatina Sapatina: Viral Star Gifted Toyota Fortuner & $20k by Sir Wicknell Chivayo
A moment of pure, unscripted joy has captured the heart of a nation and culminated in a life-changing reward. The man behind the viral "Sapatina Sapatina" meme, Madzibaba Chipaga, has been gifted a brand-new Toyota Fortuner and US$20,000 in cash by prominent businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo.
The Viral Moment: "Food of Angels"
The story began at an event at the State House in Harare, where the First Family hosted over 9,000 members of the VaPostori church for lunch. The meal, provided by Chicken Inn, set the stage for a moment of pure, ecstatic gratitude that would soon go viral.
In a video from the event, a joyful church member, Madzibaba Chipaga, is seen savoring his meal. Overwhelmed with delight, he spontaneously exclaims, "Sapatina Sapatina, kudya kwengirozi" – a phrase that translates to "the food of angels" – and a national meme was born.
A Reward for Gratitude
Recognizing the positive impact of this viral moment, businessman and socialite Sir Wicknell Chivayo stepped in. He announced the gift of a brand-new 2025 Toyota Fortuner GD6 and an additional US$20,000 in cash for fuel and, as he put it, "to buy more Sapatina Sapatina."
In a public statement, Sir Wicknell, a fellow church member, explained that he was deeply moved by Madzibaba Chipaga's "exceptional gratitude." He saw the viral moment not just as humor, but as a powerful praise of their shared faith and a testament to the blessings prophesied by their church leader, Baba Johanne.
