A private exchange between Zimbabwean billionaire Wicknell Chivayo and businesswoman and philanthropist Susan Mutami has gone viral following Chivayo's death in a helicopter crash, with the conversation now drawing widespread attention for the chilling words Mutami directed at him more than a year before he died.

The exchange, posted on X on 28 May 2025, shows Mutami confronting Chivayo over politics and money. In one message, she told him bluntly: "Not everyone wants your money, that's what you should know."

Susan Mutami's chilling warning to Chivayo

The message that has since captured the internet's attention came when Mutami told Chivayo: "Your days are numbered." At the time, it read as a sharp rebuke from an outspoken critic. The conversation took on a far more unsettling quality after Chivayo's death.

Chivayo's replies were dismissive throughout the exchange. He told Mutami not to initiate contact with him and responded curtly in what appeared to be Shona before blocking her.

A system message visible in the screenshots confirmed she could no longer send him direct messages. Notably, the confrontation happened just days after Mutami had reportedly predicted that Chivayo would die in a helicopter crash.

The crash that claimed Wicknell Chivayo

On the evening of September 30, 2026, a private helicopter carrying six occupants went down in Marondera rural, Zimbabwe.

Family spokesperson Herbert Chivayo confirmed to ZBC News that Wicknell Chivayo and his wife, Lucy Muteke, were among those who perished in the accident. He described the family as being at a loss for words.

Chivayo's last post on social media sparks reactions

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that billionaire Chivayo's last post hours before his helicopter crash death had raised concern online.

Chivayo published the post on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, just hours before the fatal crash. Titled "Appreciating Relationships Built Over Decades… Saved the Best for Last," the lengthy tribute paid tribute to the legal professionals who had supported him over the years.

The message ran to several hundred words and carried a reflective, almost valedictory quality that many followers said they found unsettling in hindsight.
