Chivayo Donates Cash To Veteran Journalist Geoff Nyarota – Eduzim News

By A Correspondent

Controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo has made a generous donation of $15,000 to help veteran journalist Geoff Nyarota with his medical expenses.

Chivayo, a figure often surrounded by controversy due to his business dealings, expressed mixed feelings about journalists.

He has been outspoken against those he accuses of blackmail or malicious reporting but made an exception in Nyarota’s case, choosing to offer support during a time of need.

In a statement on Saturday, Chivayo emphasized the importance of compassion in the face of illness, while also acknowledging Nyarota’s significant contributions to the field of journalism.

Chivayo’s statement in full reads:

“HONESTLY SPEAKING, I have never been, I am not, and will never be a fan of journalists, ESPECIALLY those who thrive on blackmail or MALICIOUS reporting to advance selfish or personal agendas. However, after CAREFUL REFLECTION and consideration, I have decided to make the GREATEST EXCEPTION in the case of Geoff Nyarota.

Despite our differences in opinion and political affiliation, I acknowledge Geoff’s contribution as a VETERAN JOURNALIST with a remarkable career that his peers celebrate.

Please advise his wife to COLLECT the US$15,000 needed to cover his medical expenses from my lawyer, SKHUMBUZO MPOFU, at Munangati and Associates Legal Practitioners.

This is a time for COMPASSION and NOT a time to use Geoff’s DESPERATE health condition as an opportunity to attack the Government or promote divisive opinions!!!!!

It is important to acknowledge the SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS made by the SECOND REPUBLIC in healthcare, such as the installation of OVER 120 dialysis machines and numerous chemotherapy machines in public and referral hospitals.

These efforts are a testament to the strides being made to improve healthcare for ALL Zimbabweans.”

Chivayo’s donation highlights the significance of supporting those in need, regardless of political differences, and underscores the positive developments being made in Zimbabwe’s healthcare system.
