Joachim “G6” Chivayo sparked online reactions after a video emerged showing him in a white Bentley Continental convertible.
The footage surfaced days after he delivered an emotional tribute at the burial of his late brother, Zimbabwean tycoon Wicknell Chivayo.
How is G6 Chivayo coping with his brother’s death?
In the clip, G6 is seated comfortably in the luxury car while a woman behind the camera showers him with compliments, telling him he looks great in the vehicle.
He also gives viewers a brief demonstration of the car’s soft top, showing how it lowers and closes back into place.
The footage appears to have been shot inside a sprawling compound that bears a resemblance to late tycoon Wicknell Chivayo’s Zimbabwean residence, though the exact location was not confirmed.
How was G6 and Wicknell’s relationship?
Wicknell Chivayo, one of Zimbabwe’s most prominent and controversial businessmen, reportedly died in a helicopter crash in September 2026.
He was laid to rest on October 8, and G6 was among those who spoke at the ceremony.
His tribute was widely noted for its raw emotion. G6 described Wicknell as not just a brother but also a mentor and teacher.
He recalled spending years hoping to work alongside his brother before finally receiving his first assignment in 2012, which involved collecting dog food.
He also shared how he once sold his own cars to raise US$220,000 for the Gwanda solar project in 2015, banking on a promised payout that ultimately became a source of tension between them.
Despite those disagreements, G6 spoke warmly of their bond and the lessons Wicknell left behind.
Beyond the grief, G6 has taken on a more active role in the aftermath of his brother’s passing.
He helped coordinate funeral arrangements and welcomed mourners in the days leading up to the burial.
He also publicly reassured Wicknell’s business associates that operations would remain stable and urged anyone with outstanding dealings to resolve disputes peacefully rather than letting matters escalate into conflict.
He added that Wicknell had made provisions to ensure his children would be properly cared for.
The cheerful mood captured in the Bentley video, coming so shortly after all of that, is what has tongues wagging.
