Chicken Slice Officially Crowned Star of the ‘Sapatina Sapatina’ Craze
The "Sapatina Sapatina" story has taken a dramatic turn. After a period of national confusion, the record has been officially set straight: the viral "food of angels" moment was fueled by none other than Chicken Slice. This is the full, corrected story of the trend that has gripped Zimbabwe.
How a National Meme Was Born
The story began at a historic gathering at State House, where the First Family hosted over 9,000 members of the VaPostori church. The event was a significant moment of community and fellowship, but one man's unscripted reaction to his lunch would soon overshadow everything else.
Amid the celebrations, a video captured Madzibaba Chipaga, a church member, savoring his meal of chicken and rice. Overwhelmed with sheer delight, he spontaneously cried out, "Sapatina Sapatina, kudya kwengirozi!" — a heartfelt declaration that this was "the food of angels." In that instant, a national catchphrase was born, quickly spreading across social media like wildfire.
The Great Sapatina Brand Debate
Initially, social media attributed the heavenly meal to Chicken Inn. However, the online narrative was swiftly corrected. In a brilliant marketing move, Chicken Slice stepped forward to claim their rightful place as the purveyor of the angelic meal.
"That wasn’t CHICKEN INN, that was pure CHICKEN SLICE glory... Taste confusion is real when the flavour slaps this hard."
The public loved the playful correction, with fans across social media platforms declaring, "Thank you VAR!" The debate was settled: Chicken Slice was the official taste of Sapatina.
A Life-Changing Reward for Gratitude
The viral moment of pure, unadulterated joy caught the attention of prominent businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo. Moved by Madzibaba Chipaga's profound gratitude, he decided to reward him with a life-changing gift: a brand-new 2025 Toyota Fortuner GD6 and a staggering US$20,000 in Cash.
This grand gesture amplified the story's reach, turning it from a simple meme into a national conversation about gratitude, blessings, and unexpected fortune.

The phrase is no longer just about food; it has become a popular slang term in Zimbabwe for any significant blessing, a moment of joy, or an unexpected windfall.
