His comments have since fuelled a debate about the role partners play in the success of wealthy individuals and whether one person should receive credit for another’s achievements.
What Chivayo’s brother said about Lulu
Speaking at the ceremony, G6 recalled how his brother’s financial fortunes appeared to change after Lulu became part of their family.
“They say he who finds a wife finds a good thing. When Lucy came into my brother’s life, that's when the money began to flow,” he said.
The mourning sibling further claimed that his brother’s business deals received approval wherever he went, suggesting that Lulu’s presence coincided with a remarkable period of prosperity.
G6 also praised his sister-in-law for her humility, recalling how she would visit his home and ask how she could make her husband happy.
According to him, Wicknell’s life had been on an upward trajectory during the two years Lulu was part of the family.

"He 'discredited' Sonja and credited Lulu, use local languages, that can help." Frank Kinyoka offered a more measured take: "G6 should speak with facts, not speculation. Claiming Wicknell only made money after marrying Lulu is an unsupported assertion. If Sonja has legal claims concerning the children or her rights, those issues belong in court, where evidence not commentary, decides them."
Tanaka pushed back against the critics:
"If big success came after, is it a problem? Was WMC dishing out Rolls-Royces during Sonja, did the jet and helicopters come during Sonja? Y'all having a fit over facts."
