He said:<\/p>\n<p>There were rumours that Bambo was refusing to accept the car and some chatter about ZANU PF. I don\u2019t think supporting ZANU PF is a sin&#8230; I appreciate [the gift] and I love my country.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Chivayo, whose wealth remains somewhat enigmatic, announced that he would be gifting cars to Moses Chunga and veteran ZBC presenter Charles \u201cCNN\u201d Mabika.<br \/>\nHe said that the gesture was made in recognition of their contributions to football and their inspirational influence on millions of fans across Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>The previous Monday, Chivayo had also gifted cars to Mai Charamba, Leonard Karigoka Zhakata, and Mechanic Manyeruke. In a social media post about Chunga, Chivayo said:<\/p>\n<p>[He] is the undisputed MAESTRO of Zimbabwean football \u2013 made history with his trailblazing debut in BELGIUM, becoming one of the first Zimbabwean players to showcase his talent on the INTERNATIONAL stage.<\/p>\n<p>His brilliance on the pitch brought GLAMOUR and STYLE to Dynamos Football Club, the \u201cGLAMOUR BOYS.\u201d As a young boy, watching him play was nothing short of mesmerizing.<\/p>\n<p>His CREATIVITY, VISION, and TECHNICAL SKILL were in a league of their own. Chunga didn\u2019t just play football, he REDEFINED it and his legacy is worth an appropriate recognition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Zimbabwe<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
