Mambo Dhuterere explains why he won’t request a car from Wicknell Chivayo

HARARE – Gospel musician Mambo Dhuterere says that the “kindness and favour” he has received from Zimbabwe’s First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa and her sons is the reason why he has not asked for a car from free-spending businessman Wicknell Chivayo.

Dhuterere found himself under scrutiny on social media after he gave a nod to Nicholas Zakaria, himself a recent beneficiary of Chivayo’s generosity.

“If we could be humble sa Nicholas Zakaria and Khiama Boys and acknowledge even ndichiti handina kuresva the other person anogona asina kundinzwisisa,” Dhuetere posted.

“Sir Wicknell netoshi yaitaurwa still choose happy ending 😄 l need that ability to ignore all negativity and focus…. This one got me,l did celebrate all gifts to the fullest but iyi ine big lesson kwandiri. l wasn’t humble and focussed till now.”

While Dhuterere said he made the post with good intentions, some social media commentators felt that he was angling for a vehicle from Chivayo.

However, in another post, Dhuterere said this was not the case, as he was already overly chuffed with the support that he received from the First family.

Dhuterere also revealed that he had been feeling below the weather recently and had pulled through with their support.

“Hanzi Mambo vakumbira pa chikuru. Truly speaking I will be so so ungrateful. We were paid 10 times mari yanga tachaja kusvika kumuridzi wema beat..

“I heard he bought himself and the guy waakauya naye new cars, ini ndoo pane yandakatengera madam combi. Astrue Muziq bought his first ever car from that, the deal was 1 jingle but we end up tavapa 2 to show our gratitude and report ikauya ichiti the bonus doo favourite ya H.E.”

“I Haven’t been feeling well for a while and they have been taking care of bills kumba neku chipatara from 3 months b4 elections till now which wasn’t part of the deal but from their hearts.. imagine receiving call from First Lady asking mwanangu how are you?

“Come kumba for dinner when free, messages from Sean & Collins (Mnangagwa sons), morning my brother, evening my brother… kukumbira mota will be so selfish,” Dhuterere wrote.

Dhuterere went on to say he did not regret making jingles for the ruling party.

“ZANU PF nor Sir Wicknell is owing us nothing! Kutipa mota will entirely from moyo wavo it’s not a must, I don’t think pane anyone from my team anga gunu’nuna kana aripo ngaataure akazvimiririra..

“Some might not like my decision doing jingles for politics but believe me the guys I worked with were so loving and caring to the whole crew, still being concerned several months after,” Dhuterere added.
