Chivayo takes swipe at Chiyangwa

BUSINESSMAN Wicknell Chivayo has taken a swipe at fellow businessman Phillip Chiyangwa in a social media post, appearing to respond to Chiyangwa's recent remarks that he has never experienced financial hardship.

Chivayo suggested that people who feel compelled to explain or defend themselves may be under pressure, adding that their actions would ultimately speak louder than their words.

The remarks come amid a growing fallout between the two businessmen following Chiyangwa's involvement in the public dispute between Chivayo and his relative, Mike Chimombe.

Chivayo did not directly name Chiyangwa in the post, but the timing of his comments appeared to point to the businessman's recent statements about his financial standing and personal success.

The exchange adds another layer to the increasingly public tensions between the two prominent Zimbabwean businessmen, who have previously been associated with high-profile business and social circles.

Chiyangwa recently spoke about his financial journey and dismissed suggestions that he had ever been broke, prompting reactions on social media.

Chivayo's response appeared to suggest that public explanations were unnecessary, arguing that results and actions would eventually silence critics.

The latest comments are likely to fuel further speculation over the relationship between the two businessmen, particularly following Chiyangwa's intervention in the dispute involving Chivayo and Chimombe.
