Public Reactions: A Mix of Praise and Criticism
Sir Wicknell’s announcement of the $2 million investment in the new Intratrek Zimbabwe head office drew varied reactions on social media.
Congratulatory Messages
Many fans and followers applauded Chivayo for his continuous growth and expansion in the business world:
✔ Eddie Kays commented: “Congratulations on the official opening of your new head office! 🎉🎈🎇”
✔ Joyce Sithole added: “If we don’t work hard, we will die in hunger calling people names. Congrats bro Sir Wicknell Muno.”
✔ Witness Njenge praised Chivayo’s religious faith: “The brand is growing, and the message is spreading far and wide. I shame some Pentecostal leaders who speak against the Postori church. Truly, God is everywhere, so let’s not judge others.”
Criticism and Skepticism
However, not everyone was impressed, with some questioning whether the investment was necessary and whether Chivayo’s business ventures truly benefit ordinary Zimbabweans.
✔ NO Nonsense sarcastically remarked:
“Saka pese apa manga musina company here mukuru? Makuda kukavhiridza ma gape ka nekuti chiringazuwa chiya chakuzotsvuka. Zvisinei, company yenyu inoita nezvei gara zviya?”
(Translation: So, all this time, you didn’t have a proper company? Or are you just trying to cover up some gaps? By the way, what exactly does your company do?)
✔ Alvinn Muchenje humorously requested a free car from Chivayo:
“Inini chiregera kundipa mota yako, hanzi naWinky zvisina dikita rangu maoko angu siya👍.”
(Translation: Since you have so much money, why don’t you just give me a car? Winky D once said, ‘things without my sweat don’t belong to me.’)
✔ Sokostina Diaries raised concerns about job creation, urging Chivayo to open a supermarket instead of just flaunting wealth:
“At least open a supermarket and employ people as well. Just imagine how many people lost jobs when OK and Choppies closed. Yet, you are busy shining nezvisina basa (with things that don’t matter).”
The debate on social media highlights the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding business leaders and their responsibilities to Zimbabwean society.
