A custom‑built Rolls‑Royce Phantom, ordered by the late Zimbabwean tycoon Wicknell Chivayo, has arrived in Harare weeks after the businessman’s death in a helicopter crash.
The luxury vehicle, valued at $550,000, was reportedly commissioned by Chivayo before his untimely demise. It was delivered to the capital following the completion of his burial arrangements.
Chivayo, a prominent figure in Zimbabwe’s business community, died in a helicopter accident earlier this year. The arrival of the car has drawn attention from local media and the public, who have followed the tycoon’s life and legacy.
Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, has seen a number of high‑profile events in recent months, and the arrival of the Rolls‑Royce adds a notable chapter to the city’s contemporary history.
While the vehicle’s arrival is a personal tribute to Chivayo, it also highlights the continued demand for bespoke luxury automobiles among Africa’s elite.
