Comedian and musician Freddy “Kapfupi” Manjalima finally got behind the wheel of his brand-new Toyota Aqua on Monday, June 9, courtesy of businessman Wicknell Chivayo, this time, sober.
This comes a week after a dramatic turn of events on June 2, when Kapfupi arrived at a local car dealership to collect the vehicle but was turned away after showing up intoxicated.
The car, which had been promised as a gift by Chivayo, was temporarily withheld by dealer Madzibaba Chipaga, who insisted the artist come back in a better state to claim it.
True to his word, Kapfupi returned a week later, this time with his wife by his side and a clear head.
Posting on Facebook, the comedian revealed that he had gone an entire week without alcohol. He wrote:
Tsamba kuna baba vangu Sir Wicknell chekutanga ndoda kutenda Mwarii neumwe mukana wavakupai kutii mundirangirirewo neumwe mudziyoo uyuu chokwadi baba munoitwa chiranga mapenzii kubva zvamatii ngaazouya next week arisobha kubva ipapo handina kuzombobvira ndakabata Doro futii ende handichatobate kuipa kwechimwe kunaka kwechimwe apa makandidzidzisa ndikadzidza Mukomborwe na Mwarii midzimu haipe katatu asii mu Postorii anopa ka Shanu chaikoo
A letter to my father, Sir Wicknell.
Firstly, I want to thank God for another opportunity He gave you for you to gift me another car. Honestly, father, you are truly a guiding light for the foolish. Since you said it should come next week, I will be sober from then on—I have not touched alcohol again, and I will never touch it. The bad in one thing brings out the good in another, and in this, you taught me, and I learned.
Blessings from God—spirits do not give three times, but the Apostle gives five times indeed!

Your work always brings a smile to my face. Much love and respect!
Thank you for this kind moment.
This is pure joy.
I haven’t had a drink for a week either – so can I have a new Toyota Fortuner?
