Harare, Zimbabwe – December 27, 2024
Lulu Muteke’s father has broken his silence amid swirling rumors of an impending marriage proposal from controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo. In a bold statement that has sent shockwaves through social and traditional media, Mr. Muteke publicly declared he would not accept what he termed "dirty money" from Chivayo in any dowry negotiations involving his daughter.
Speaking to journalists outside the family home, Mr. Muteke expressed his concerns over Chivayo’s controversial reputation and business dealings, which have often landed him in the spotlight for alleged corruption and legal battles.
"I will not sell my daughter for money that is stained with corruption. No amount of wealth or lavish promises will buy my principles or compromise the dignity of my family," Mr. Muteke said sternly.
The father of Lulu Muteke, a rising socialite and entrepreneur, stated that any suitor seeking to marry his daughter must prove themselves through honesty, respect, and genuine intentions—not through flaunting questionable riches.
The statement has sparked widespread debate in Zimbabwean society. Some have praised Mr. Muteke for standing firm on his values, while others question the impact of his decision on Lulu’s personal life and autonomy.
Wicknell Chivayo, who is known for his flamboyant lifestyle and high-profile business deals, has yet to respond to Mr. Muteke’s comments. Chivayo has long been a polarizing figure, with his name often associated with allegations of financial misconduct and ostentatious displays of wealth.
Lulu Muteke has not issued any statement regarding her father’s remarks. She has, however, continued her usual engagements on social media, where she boasts a significant following. Fans are eagerly awaiting her response, which could shed light on her stance in this publicized family matter.
