Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo announced his move into a R160 million mansion in Clifton, Cape Town, on 23 June 2026. He shared an aerial view and interior tour on Facebook that sent his followers into a frenzy.
Chivayo is the managing director of Intratrek Zimbabwe and one of southern Africa's most talked-about moguls. He is also known for his close ties to heads of state like King Mswati III of Eswatini, large government tenders, and a very public taste for luxury. Speaking about his latest property acquisition that's in the same neighbourhood as mining magnate MySol, he said:
"We were welcomed to our new home last weekend. A cool R160 million in total, well spent, including everything done and delivered with utmost class and attention to detail."
