ZIMBABWE: Zimbabwean tycoon Wicknell Chivayo’s custom Rolls-Royce Phantom arrives weeks after he died in helicopter crash
A custom-made Rolls-Royce Phantom ordered by late Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo has reportedly arrived at his residence in Harare, Zimbabwe, weeks after he died in a helicopter crash.
According to local media, the luxury vehicle arrived on Friday, October 23, in a large wooden crate, nearly a month after Chivayo and his wife, Lucy Muteke, died in the crash on September 30, 2026. The couple were buried on October 8.
The bespoke Phantom was reportedly ordered months before the businessman’s death and had been undergoing international shipping and customs clearance before reaching Zimbabwe.
Images shared online showed the vehicle bearing a personalised registration plate associated with Chivayo, who was widely known for his extravagant lifestyle and collection of high-end automobiles
