Govt, Zanu PF issues Icarus-fate warning to motormouth Wicknell Chivayo

ASPIRING billionaire Wicknell Chivayo appears to have dug his own grave, less than a month after his company was awarded a lucrative Starlink deal to be the sole provider of  in Zimbabwe

Reacting to a viral audio leaked recently were Chivayo  bragged that  the President was under his wings, government  and Zanu PF spokespersons have issued  a veiled warning to Chivayo against flying too close to the sun, by abusing his proximity to President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

In separate posts on X  Nick Mangwana   and Farai Marapira said Chivayo was forgetting that he was a nonentity in the political matrix of this country.

Mangwana said like Icarus Chivayo was flying too close to the sun, had quickly forgotten  that his wings were made from wax which would easily melt.

“Icarus was warned by his father not to fly too close to the sun, as the wax that his wings were made from would melt. But fueled by the adrenaline rush of flying , Icarus failed to rein in his excitement and felt he was the man of the moment. He did not heed the warnings, Icarus was so intoxicated by the experience of flying and never thought he could tumble from this loft height, so he flew higher and higher getting closer and closer to the sun. The closer he came to the sun, the more the wax in his wings melted. He tumbled into the sea and drowned,” said Mangwana.

Zanu PF spokesperson Farai Muroiwa Marapira weighed in saying pride comes before a fall.
