*Chivayo's US$439 Million Cancer Deal: A 'Presidential Scheme' or Public Plunder?* HARARE, ZIMBABWE – Prominent businessman and ZANU PF affiliate, Wicknell Chivayo, finds himself at the heart of another national controversy. A South African-registered entity, TTM Global Medical Exports (Pty) Ltd, which is reportedly linked to Chivayo, has been awarded a colossal US$439 million (approximately R7.9 billion) contract. The agreement is for the supply of crucial cancer treatment machines to various hospitals across Zimbabwe. Sources within the government suggest this substantial deal is part of a "presidential scheme aimed at providing cancer treatment equipment." However, the transaction is already drawing heavy criticism from various quarters, with many labelling it as another questionable arrangement involving the often flamboyant and contentious businessman. The contract, which ZiMetro News understands was purportedly signed by Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Martin Rushwaya, outlines annual payments of US$109,320,600 (roughly R1.97 billion) to TTM Global over a four-year period. Of particular concern is the fact that TTM Global Medical Exports (Pty) Ltd was only incorporated in November 2024 – a mere seven months before securing this exceptionally lucrative health sector contract. Opposition politician and respected lawyer, Fadzayi Mahere, has publicly challenged Chivayo on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), raising a series of pointed questions: "Dear @wicknellchivayo, On what date did your South African company, TTM Global Medical Exports (Pty) Ltd, tender for the supply of cancer treatment equipment? Do you have a copy of the call for public tenders? Can you explain why the value of the contract is half a billion US dollars? On what basis was your company awarded the contract given that this company came into existence in November 2024, meaning that it is less than a year old? Why is the physical address of your company a hotel? Is it a briefcase company? Does your company manufacture cancer treatment equipment at Da Vinci Hotel and Suites?" Official records show that the company is registered at the Da Vinci Hotel and Suites in Sandton, Johannesburg. This location, a luxury hotel and shopping complex, is not known to house any medical equipment manufacturing facilities, further fueling suspicions surrounding the deal. As of the time of this report by ZiMetro News, Wicknell Chivayo has not issued any public response to the questions raised. This developing story continues to generate significant public interest and scrutiny. Chivayo's US$439 Million Cancer Deal: A 'Presidential Scheme' or Public Plunder?
