Zimbabweans have been abuzz with mixed reactions after pictures of Lulu real name Lucy Muteke, the newlywed wife of businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo, surfaced online featuring her with President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The images quickly went viral, sparking a wave of both admiration and criticism from across the country.
Social media users have expressed a range of emotions, from curiosity and humor to frustration and skepticism, as they weigh in on the unfolding drama.
Social Media Reactions: A Split View
One of the most vocal responses came from Lioness Sukue Vodloza, who couldn’t help but make light of the situation. In a playful jab at recent public spats, she remarked,
“Well life is for the living 💁🏼💁🏼💁🏼. Now I want that other one whose always ranting on social media to be given her settlement, let’s see if it’s the divorce she really wanted or she’s hurt 😂😂😂.”
Her comment highlights the ongoing drama surrounding high-profile divorces, as people wonder whether some public figures are genuinely interested in separation or are more motivated by financial gains.
Another user, Mai Nicole, took a more cynical tone, bringing up the issue of money in high-profile relationships. She joked,
“Ko handiti mari iri kunobviswa kumaroro ndeya Ed here. Ayenda kunooneswa sara pavana 🤣🤣,”
which roughly translates to questioning if the money is being siphoned from state coffers and mocking the public display as nothing more than an attention-grabbing stunt.

On the other hand, some responses were more serious, as seen in the comment from Petronellah Gwanyanya, who raised a broader concern about the political and social system in Zimbabwe.
She commented,
“Haaa Sonja dai ambomira kuwawata. Unozonyara washaya divorce settlement zvese nemurume. Vanhu veZanu are above the law ava, whether we like it or not😒.”
