Divorce battle: Sonja seeks asset split and millions in maintenance from Wicknell Chivayo
Sonja, the estranged wife of businessman Wicknell Chivayo, has filed for divorce, saying their marriage has completely broken down with no love, support, or relationship remaining between them.
In court papers, she is asking for a fair — and in some cases equal — division of the wealth they built during the marriage. The assets listed include several luxury vehicles such as Rolls Royce, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, and Range Rover models, multiple properties in Harare and South Africa, a private jet, and interests in several companies.
She also claims that some assets may be hidden in companies or trusts and wants the court to include them when determining the full value of the estate.
Sonja is seeking custody of their two children, while proposing that Chivayo be granted structured visitation rights, including weekends, holidays, and regular communication.
In terms of financial support, she is requesting that Chivayo cover all the children’s expenses, including education, medical care, clothing, food, internet access, and extracurricular activities.
She is also demanding spousal maintenance of US$40,000 per month until she remarries, a once-off payment of US$25 million, and approximately US$1 million per year for holidays and lifestyle expenses.
Additionally, she wants the court to award her ownership of some of the properties and order Chivayo to pay the legal costs of the case.
The matter is now before the court for determination.
