Wicknell Chivayo has donated 20 vehicles and US$2 million to the Christmas Cheer Funds of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF), the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), and the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS).
Chivayo said the donations are intended to support staff welfare and outreach programmes under each organisation’s Cheer Fund.
Chivayo pointed out how much the funds have helped over the years, saying that programmes like the ZDF Commander’s Christmas Cheer Fund, the ZRP Commissioner General’s Cheer Fund, and the ZPCS Commissioner General’s Cheer Fund have always supported those who’ve dedicated their lives to national service.
According to Chivayo, the funds have helped pay school fees for orphans, provided medical support to injured and disabled veterans, delivered groceries to widows in rural areas, and extended care to retired officers living in difficult circumstances. He added:
