Tanzanian Prophet Warns Ghanaians to Burn Gifts from Wicknell Chivayo After Death

A Tanzanian prophet has sparked widespread attention with a chilling warning about late Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo, urging anyone who received gifts from him to burn the items immediately. Prophet Fadhili The Kemuel, in a video posted on Instagram on Thursday, October 1, 2026, said Chivayo’s presents were bound by dark spiritual oaths linked to ritual covenants. He claimed the late tycoon used his influence to spread spiritual power through gifts, particularly to those close to religious leaders. Fadhili said he was holding back further details of what he described as a troubling spiritual arrangement, offering only a partial revelation. His warning came a day after reports confirmed Chivayo died in a helicopter crash on September 30, 2026, alongside three others. The crash, which occurred near Harare, also claimed the lives of pilot and two others whose identities have since been released. Images of Chivayo’s designer shoes, recovered from the wreckage, have circulated widely online. Relatives and church members have gathered at his family home in Harare to mourn. While the story originates outside Ghana, it has resonated locally due to Chivayo’s regional influence and the symbolic weight of spiritual warnings in African cultures. The video, shared by @rickmedia.tz, has been widely reposted across social media platforms in Ghana, with many users questioning the nature of high-profile gift-giving in public life. No Ghanaian individuals are named in connection with the gifts referenced. Fadhili did not name specific recipients or provide evidence to support his claims. His statements remain unverified and are presented as spiritual interpretations rather than factual allegations. The incident has reignited conversations about the intersection of wealth, influence, and spirituality in public figures’ lives.
