Flamboyant Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo has donated a 2026 Toyota Fortuner 2.8 GD6 valued at US$80,000, along with US$50,000 in cash, to a man who lost his entire immediate family in a devastating road accident over the Easter holiday.
The donation was made to Ronald Mujuru, whose wife and all five of his children were killed in one of the most tragic incidents to strike the country in recent years.
Killed in the accident was 40-year-old Lilian Maranda Mujuru and five children: Nokutenda Mujuru (15), Makanaka Mujuru (13), Ronald Junior Mujuru (11), Rufaro Shalom Mujuru (7), and Kayden Mujuru (3).
Chivayo described the support as a personal gesture rooted in compassion, saying it was intended to help Mujuru begin rebuilding his life after the loss.
He added that the contribution was made in line with the cultural tradition of offering assistance to grieving families.
The fatal accident occurred during a busy holiday travel period (02 April) near the 246-kilometre peg along the Harare-Masvingo road in Masvingo Province.
According to a statement released by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) the collision involved a Toyota Corolla and a Mercedes-Benz truck, which struck each other head-on.
All six victims were occupants of the Toyota Corolla and were identified as members of the Mujuru family from Tynwald North, Harare.
The tragedy has shocked communities across Zimbabwe and prompted an outpouring of condolences nationwide.
Among those who visited the family was First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa, while Transport Minister Felix Mhona also attended the funeral and expressed sympathy.
The scale of the loss—six members of the same family—has intensified calls for improved road safety, particularly during peak travel seasons.
As tributes continue, the focus remains on supporting the bereaved and addressing the broader risks on Zimbabwe’s roads.
