A Zimbabwean prophet, identified as Raison Pachinhevere, has died in a road accident while driving a luxury vehicle gifted to him by the late businessman Wicknell Chivayo in 2021.
Pachinhevere, who was reportedly based in Chiweshe and affiliated with the Johane Masowe eChishanu Church, was behind the wheel of the vehicle when the fatal accident occurred.
His death has attracted attention following the resurfacing of an old photograph showing him alongside Chivayo during a church gathering in 2021, when the businessman handed him the white luxury vehicle.
Chivayo was known for his extravagant generosity, frequently gifting expensive cars, cash and other valuables to musicians, religious leaders, church members and other public figures.
His relationship with the Johane Masowe eChishanu Church extended beyond individual donations, with reports indicating that he also supported the congregation through financial assistance, vehicles and buses to facilitate church activities.
The tragedy comes just weeks after Chivayo himself died in a helicopter crash on September 30, 2026, near Marondera, Zimbabwe.
The businessman died alongside his wife, Lucy Muteke, and four other occupants when the aircraft crashed. All six people aboard were killed.
According to the Associated Press, Zimbabwean authorities launched investigations into the helicopter crash, with preliminary observations indicating that the aircraft struck the ground before fuel ignited nearby grass.
Meanwhile, details surrounding the exact location and cause of Pachinhevere’s road accident have not yet been independently established, and authorities have not publicly released a definitive account of the crash.
The two deaths have sparked renewed discussion on social media, particularly because of the connection between the late businessman and the prophet through the 2021 vehicle donation.
