There's no political party better than the other. They criticize and fight each other but the agenda is common, to chow state funds.

Wicknell Chivayo is renting a jet from Bestfly Aruba at the moment, while his usual plane — ZS-ACT — sits grounded in Basel, conveniently parked there for what he is calling “maintenance.” The timeline just doesn’t sit right with me. There are far too many red flags. I’m not letting this one go. I’ll keep a close eye on him because nobody casually burns through millions every single week unless that money isn’t really theirs to begin with. What truly bothers me is how neatly Chivayo has fitted into a system that’s essentially helping the country steal from itself. Let me walk you through how this actually plays out. Back in early 2024, the Zimbabwe Defence Industries had already vetted a legitimate supplier for auxiliary ammunition and equipment. The quote was a clean US$20 million. Treasury sat on the payment for a while, and then — surprise — the same request suddenly reappears, but now with Chivayo as the lead supplier. The price for the exact same goods? It jumps straight to $69 million. Just like magic. The RBZ IT systems upgrade followed a painfully similar script. A capable company won the tender fairly at $10 million. Then, without much explanation, the contract gets cancelled. The original winner was reportedly pressured to drop their legal challenge, after being assured a new tender would be issued. When that “new” tender finally dropped in mid-2024, Chivayo walked away with it at $50 million — five times the original price. And here’s the part that really gets me: the same experts who had quoted $10 million were quietly brought back as subcontractors to do the actual work for their original fee, while Chivayo kept the $40 million markup for himself. Just those two deals alone siphoned off roughly $89 million in pure profit from the public purse. Now stack that against the way he’s living. Spending millions buying cars as gifts. He spent $750,000 on a Bentley and is burning $10,000 an hour renting a Gulfstream. Even with all that lavish spending, he’s barely touched 1% of the money he made from those two contracts. That’s not the mark of a genuine businessman. This is someone living like royalty on the backs of ordinary Zimbabwean taxpayers — a flashy distraction funded by the very people getting fleeced & unfortunately the very people cheering him on! And honestly, that’s the saddest part of all: the nation is slowly but surely robbing itself through its own procurement systems.
