Dar es Salaam / Harare — In a shocking turn of events that has set social media ablaze, controversial Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo is allegedly on the radar of Tanzanian authorities. Sources close to regional security networks claim that an arrest could be imminent as investigations intensify across borders.
According to early reports circulating on Tanzanian and Zimbabwean gossip blogs, Chivayo—known for his flamboyant lifestyle, luxury car giveaways, and close ties to powerful political figures—recently arrived in Tanzania for what appeared to be a private business trip. However, insiders allege that local authorities have been quietly coordinating with international agencies over “pending matters” linked to financial dealings and cross-border transactions.
“This is not the first time Wicknell’s name has popped up in international investigations. But Tanzania’s sudden involvement has shocked everyone. If the reports are true, this could be one of the biggest regional scandals of the year,” one regional security analyst told reporters.
Videos and unconfirmed images have flooded X (Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook, with some netizens claiming to have spotted a “convoy” of officials near a luxury hotel in Dar es Salaam where the businessman was rumored to be staying. Hashtags like #WicknellInTanzania, #ChivayoDrama, and #CrossBorderScandal are now trending across Southern Africa.
While no official statement has been released by Tanzanian law enforcement, the speculation alone has sent shockwaves through Zimbabwe’s entertainment and political circles. Many are asking whether this could mark the beginning of a serious international legal showdown — or just another viral storm surrounding one of the region’s most talked-about figures.
