Inside G6's under-construction Harare home

The circulating footage shows a property still very much in progress, with exposed brickwork, towering concrete pillars and incomplete walls visible throughout.

Roof structures are already in place, and the sheer scale of the build is unmistakable even at this stage of construction.

When completed, the home is reportedly planned to include eight bedrooms, a private office, an indoor gym and a sauna, positioning it among the most ambitious residential builds in the country.

G6's growing public profile

The viral footage has drawn significant online attention, partly because of the timing.

Since Wicknell's death, G6 appears to have taken on a more visible role within the family's business interests, though the full extent of his involvement has not been confirmed publicly.

Reports also indicate that G6 has been spotted in the company of Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa and other figures previously associated with Wicknell's political network.

Wicknell's passing left a notable gap in Zimbabwe's business and social landscape, and the focus on his family's affairs, including the scale of G6's residence, reflects just how much public fascination surrounds that legacy.
