Chivayo Family Asserts Children's Inheritance Rights

The family of the late Zimbabwean billionaire Wicknell Chivayo has publicly stated that his children are to inherit the majority of his multimillion-dollar estate. This announcement was made by family uncle and spokesperson Herbert Chivayo during a condolence gathering at Chivayo's Gletwyn mansion in Harare.

The family is calling on President Emmerson Mnangagwa to ensure that Chivayo's dying wish is honored. Herbert Chivayo firmly rejected any claims from extended family members, emphasizing that the estate belongs solely to Chivayo's children.

He directly addressed President Mnangagwa, requesting his intervention should any challenges arise regarding the children's inheritance rights. Chivayo's former wife, Sonja Madzikanda, attended the funeral with their two children, who are identified as the only heirs.

The gathering saw thousands of mourners, including senior government officials, politicians, and religious leaders, paying their respects.
