Businessman and philanthropist Sir Wicknell Chivhayo has delivered an early Christmas gift to scores of women from an apostolic sect, donating food hampers ahead of the festive season in a gesture that community leaders say will ease household pressures well into the new year.
The distribution, held Thursday, drew hundreds of women who welcomed the assistance at a time when many families are struggling with rising food costs.
Sect elder Madzibaba Enock praised Chivhayo’s intervention, calling it a timely lifeline.
“We are deeply grateful to Sir Wicknell for remembering our women. This early Christmas gift will go a long way in supporting their children and even the elderly. It brings real relief to many homes,” he said.
Madzibaba Enock echoed the sentiment, describing the donation as more than a one‑off gesture.
“Sir Wicknell has shown generosity that touches the heart. These hampers will sustain families beyond the holidays, and our community is truly thankful for his kindness,” Madzibaba Enock stated.
Chivhayo, known for his high‑profile philanthropic activities, said he hoped the donation would bring comfort and dignity to families during the festive season.
The beneficiaries are expected to begin collecting their hampers this week.
The Council for Churches in Africa (CCA) has bestowed one of its top honours on prominent apostolic leader Madzibaba Enock, recognising his exceptional evangelism and service to vulnerable communities across the country.
Madzibaba Enock received the Best Apostolic Mission Award, a distinction reserved for spiritual leaders whose work has had measurable social impact.
