Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo has given Sungura musician Alick Macheso a US$140 000 Mercedes Benz.<\/p>\n

Posting on his Facebook page, Chivayo said the gift is to recognise Macheso\u2019s contribution to the music industry and for performing at ZANU PF rallies. He wrote:<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the man himself ALECK MACHESO ALE ALE ALE and the Orchestra Mberikwazvo… Please go to EXQUISITE DEALERSHIP and see Victor your new and beautiful 2022 MERCEDES BENZ GLE400d (PREMIUM PLUS) is ready for collection…<\/p>\n

Thank you for your immense contribution to the music industry and the entertainment at our ZANU PF rallies throughout the years. Your efforts to entertain us supporters at our star rallies are most appreciated.<\/p>\n

Chivayo has been making headlines by generously gifting luxury cars to musicians, most of them aligned with the ruling ZANU PF party.
\nHe recently purchased a car for Jah Prayzah, worth a staggering US$180 000 in recognition of his album titled \u201cMudhara Achauya\u201d, which featured the song \u201cKutonga Kwaro\u201d.<\/p>\n

The song \u201cKutonga Kwaro\u201d became the soundtrack during the November 2017 military coup that ousted the late former President, Robert Mugabe.<\/p>\n

Chivayo also awarded Sulumani Chimbetu, worth US$140 000 and praised the musician for his unwavering support for the ruling party, ZANU PF, during their rallies.<\/p>\n

His ties to ZANU PF and his lavish spending have drawn attention, leading to discussions about his motivations and also the source of his funds.<\/p>\n
