SA socialite dismisses rumours of links to Chivayo

SOUTH African digital content creator and beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase (pictured) expressed gratitude to Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo for dispelling rumours suggesting they are dating.

Ndamase is currently in Miami in the United States, living her best life, but that hasn’t stopped the gossip mongers from spilling tea.

“Meet Mihlali Ndamase's new boyfriend Wicknell Chivayo,” tweeted Musa Khawula. High calorie; Wicknell Chivayo who hails from Zimbabwe and his new beau are currently on vacation in Miami.”

Chivayo took to his official Instagram account to clarify that he was not dating the famous South African media personality.

“This utterly absurd rumour is therefore nothing more than a baseless falsehood originated by some attention seeking blogger known as @The Instigator on X whose feelings and ego were tormented when I posted my latest purchase of a 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre on social media,” wrote the controversial Zimbabwean businessman.

“He found an opportunity to find relevance by fabricating a pathetic story out of desperation for online attention.”

The “young black filthy rich millionaire” explained that he understands that his opulent lifestyle does make him trend online for no reason, but with a reputation to protect he had to put a stop to the “spurious and defamatory controversies”.

Wicknell, who is believed to have married Sonja Madzikanda in 2017 and shares two children with her, gained notoriety due to his alleged involvement in fraudulent activities related to large government contracts in Zimbabwe.

Ndamase was previously romantically linked to businessman Leeroy Sidambe, who is separated from his estranged wife and undergoing divorce proceedings. Their relationship was the talk of social media. — iol.
