A Gift for a Centurion
In a public announcement, Wicknell Chivayo detailed the gift of a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 ZX Series, valued at US$190,000. He specified that the car should be white in color, explaining his choice with the words, "kufananidza neNGUWO CHENA yenyu inokosha BABA vedu" (to match your sacred white garments, our Father).
In addition to the vehicle, Chivayo gifted US$107,000 in cash, symbolically representing one thousand dollars for each of the 107 years that he stated God has graciously blessed Mutumwa Mwazha with.
Chivayo's Heartfelt Tribute
"It is my DEEPEST HONOUR and greatest PRIVILEGE to join the Nation and millions across Africa and beyond, in celebrating the 107th birthday of the FOUNDER and LEADER of the African Apostolic Church, MUTUMWA PAUL MAMVURA MWAZHA. Throughout his extraordinary life, MUTUMWA MWAZHA has made immeasurable contributions to the spiritual and social well-being of Zimbabwe."
Chivayo drew a parallel between the African Apostolic Church and his own Johanne Masowe Chishanu, stating they both "pray for the nation, its LEADERSHIP and the PEACE and PROSPERITY of our people." He emphasized that both churches share a divine mission rooted in love and the belief that "MWARI MUMWE CHETE SEZUVA" (God is One like the Sun).
A Pattern of Philanthropy
This grand gesture to Mutumwa Mwazha followed a weekend where Chivayo reportedly spent over US$900,000 buying vehicles. These included cars for 15 of his fellow church members, referred to as "vana MADZIBABA," and a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser worth US$190,000 for his mother figure, whom he called "SARAPAVANA."
