These kinds of events are a once in a lifetime, right? If you have been caught with me, I'll tell you that while the Super El Nino is associated with drought conditions in southern Africa, it also contributes to unusual weather patterns resulting in hailstorms and flooding.

Meanwhile, some suggest that the extreme weather conditions are connected to the death of the controversial businessman Wiknel Juvayo, who reportedly died in a car crash that also claimed the lives of four others, including his wife, two pilots, and a personal aide.

Chevalier was known for his extravagant lifestyle and gifting of cars and went by the moniker Mokuru Emazua, the Ancient of Ages, which some felt was mocking God and thus his days numbered like the biblical king whose reign was brought to an end.

Others suggest that his death was like Icarus, who had flown too close to the sun, getting a fair bit more than Mr.

Mapumo claims he was paid in full and will honor his obligations, although people suspect he might have said that only to save face.

Social media was rife with jokes along the lines of how Thomas Mapumo was the first person to travel for a funeral for someone who hadn't died yet.

If you're having coffee with me, I'll tell you that Javayo's death was received with mixed reactions, some grieving the loss of a generous benefactor, while others celebrated the death of corruption as personified by the businessman who had access to heads of state of multiple African governments.

It was a rare display of African unity as social media users from Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, and around Africa found common ground in discussing the death of Mokomoto Bayo, a tenderpreneur and possibly a frontman for government elites whose business dealings are shrouded in secrecy and mystery, leaving imagination to fill in the gaps as to the source of his wealth.

I did.
Murugi Munyi and Lydia KMHOST

But I was speaking to a Zimbabwean friend that I have- Mm ... who we play tennis with, and he was saying that a lot of people had issues with the way he portrayed his wealth.
Michael MarchantGUEST
10:03
And essentially, to go back to the numbers that you had given us at the beginning, it The Zimbabwean Ministry of Finance paid 1 billion rand to Renfe, a South African company.
Michael MarchantGUEST
10:14
And out of that, 800 million, so basically 80% of the contract, went to Chivayo's South African companies.
Michael MarchantGUEST
10:24
From those companies in South Africa, they were then paid to some of Chivayo's personal accounts.
Michael MarchantGUEST
10:29
He used them at Daytona and a couple of other high-profile luxury vehicle dealerships in Johannesburg.

And so that brings us to OpenSecret's interest, and that's the basis of the criminal complaint we gave to the hawks.

GeorgeHOST

I think I read somewhere, isn't this where, uh, Wicknell and, um, Lulu-
Mabel ChidhakwaGUEST
35:41
Lulu, yes
GeorgeHOST
35:42
... a- are be- are being buried?
Mabel ChidhakwaGUEST
35:51
Yeah.
Mabel ChidhakwaGUEST
35:52
We are going to have them at our real estate, you know, on Thursday.
GeorgeHOST
35:58
So, so I can afford to be buried in the same place as Wicknell?
Mabel ChidhakwaGUEST
36:02
Yes, definitely.
speaker_2HOST

That's incredible.

We are looking at a system where an aggregation of micro efforts, thousands of individuals operating with relatively basic equipment is entirely out producing highly capitalized corporate operations.
speaker_1HOST
3:53
So they are literally acting as the primary financial safety net for the entire country.
speaker_2HOST
3:57
Exactly.

right yet he wasn't on the list now it's critical to state clearly for you listening we are not accusing anyone of tax evasion and neither is the report
speaker_2HOST
9:58
no not at all
speaker_1HOST
9:59
we are strictly looking at the structural environment because in most economies wealthy individuals stay very quiet they use audited foundations to move money because flaunting 44 million dollars invites immediate crushing audits from tax compliance departments
speaker_2HOST
10:14
It really highlights a deep structural reality.

ChaxyHOST
61:20
That chopper is what Chivayo was filming in the attached video.
ChaxyHOST
61:23
There's the video of Chivayo in the chopper filming the second chopper, right? I think you guys have seen that.
