No more weak nails in Wicknell’s case

FOR the record, Wicknell Chivayo has done absolutely nothing wrong before the law. Th at is a fact. However, he has raised a bit of a fat stink with regards where and how he has used money advanced to him by the State for national projects and whether there is progress where he has said he will commit those funds to.

While we see posts and posts on social media of a “balling” and “bottle popping” social media celebrity, plus an acerbic dose of below the belt punches by Wicknell on those who dare to question him on social media, we hardly see him posting pictures on Instagram perhaps of what progress he has made with regards the real work.

He has hurt quite a lot of people with his comments and below the belt jabs. If it is any consolation to those who have been hit below the belt, at least you have a waistline to talk about and hence a place to place a belt!

Wicknell could do well to post himself with “men at work” and a caption that reads for example “Your dear Sir here with his workers. 28 days to completing this awesome project!” But no. We see him with Louis Vuitton products, suave shoes, slick watches, gigantic fl ag-sized shirts and signature T-shirts as well as other little trinkets.

The parliamentary portfolio committee that went on a tour of Wicknell’s “work” are apparently all in need of psychiatric assistance aft er what they saw vis-à-vis the money Wicknell got actually left them reeling and thinking they had been abducted and dropped on some lone planet without human existence and just two bare shacks!

Is it all really worth the money Wicknell got? Many are asking. But Wicknell does not give a rats behind of course, posting on social media that the legislators saw exactly what should be expected at such a site where at least $5 million was advanced.

Unless of course those corrugated iron sheets used to build the shacks were purchased from Louis Vuitton or they are Gucci Hardware store purchases, then something is very, very, very wrong in Gwanda.

“What were MPs expecting to fi nd on a site for a potential solar power station ???? A tripple story 10- bedroomed mansion with a tennis court and a swimming pool ???? Those are actually called temporary structures which means they are destroyed later . . . NOTHING UNUSUAL . . . ” (sic) Wicknell tweeted on his Twitter account. Perhaps the time now is time to put a lid on it?

Ignore that he spells triple with two ‘ps’ or storey as if he is talking about a kindergarten read before one sleeps. The fact that he built a couple of shacks, some of which he cannot fit into, is worrying given all the time the project has been ongoing.

Th e sad thing is that the “balling entrepreneur” doesn’t see that this is the time to be humble and meek if ever there was a time for that because the people’s anger with being attacked and harassed over funds from their own tax has hit the fi nal ebb and something will break. And nastily so. Just out of a little bit of fun The Sat- urday Herald went on its own type of “portfolio committee” tour.

While Temba and the girls he threw shade at (fellow legislators) were touring Gwanda, we toured Wicknell’s social media page to estimate the “work” he had done in shops and malls around the world and the monetary carnage that excursion added up to in his wallet . . . or is it in his wallet which bears taxpayer’s money?

The result was pretty interesting.

Yet in the interest of creating or bringing back a society accountable to the taxpayer, if there is anyindiscretion which is unearthed then the nail that is hit in the coffi n should be the toughest nail in the box. The time for Weak Nails is long gone! We should come down heavily on malfeasance of all sorts and use the toughest nails while we are at it!
