Chivayo's bodyguard recalls the man behind the wealth
Before recording the tribute, the bodyguard was reportedly seen spending time with Chivayo's children at the burial.
That moment spoke volumes about how deeply he was woven into the fabric of the family's life, rather than simply filling a professional role.
In the video, he painted a picture of Chivayo that went far beyond his public image as a prominent businessman.
He described his late boss as "an incredible man, a loving man, a godly man, a man who loved these kids, a man who loved the community, and a man who believed that giving is better than receiving."
He continued by calling Chivayo "a holy man, a man that will never be replaced ever in our history," a sentiment that many viewers found particularly striking given the controversies that had surrounded Chivayo in life.
A personal goodbye to Sir Wicknell
Perhaps the line that drew the most attention was his declaration that "Sir Wicknell is a loss to the entire world. And that is a man that I know God took for himself as his right-hand man."
The bodyguard concluded his tribute with a direct and personal farewell to his former boss: "You will live in my heart for eternity. I love you, God bless."
The video has since attracted significant attention across social media platforms, with many commenters moved by the sincerity and depth of feeling expressed by someone whose relationship with Chivayo was, at its core, built on duty.
