• G6 noted that Chivayo's generosity, business activities and public presence intensified dramatically in the period leading up to his death
• The tribute also touched on the role Chivayo's wife, Lucy Muteke, played in his life during the last chapter of his journey

Wicknell Chivayo's brother, known as G6, delivered a deeply personal tribute at the late Zimbabwean businessman's funeral, shedding light on a side of the flamboyant tycoon that few had openly discussed before his passing.

Speaking at the service, Civayo's brother G6 reflected on how the qualities Chivayo had always been known for, including his ambition, generosity and larger-than-life public presence, appeared to shift into an entirely different gear during the two years before he died.

He noted that Wicknell Chivayo had always been driven and free-spirited, yet something about the final stretch of his life felt markedly different in scale and intensity.

"Everything he was now doing, he had done it before, and over the past 2 years, it was now on steroids as if he knew time was no longer on his side," G6 said.

The observation painted a picture of a man pouring himself fully into his business dealings, philanthropic efforts and public engagements with a renewed sense of purpose.

Chivayo had long been recognised across Zimbabwe for his extravagant lifestyle and his willingness to spend lavishly on those around him, but according to his brother, those familiar traits became far more pronounced in his closing chapter.

He described her as someone who brought warmth and forward momentum into the businessman's world, crediting the roughly two-year relationship with creating the kind of environment in which Chivayo continued to grow and give.

G6 himself became a focal point at the funeral, arriving in a jacket bearing portraits of his late brother and later leading mourners in a dirge during the service.

His emotional presence matched the weight of the words he shared, offering those in attendance a personal window into the man behind the headlines.

His account of Chivayo's final years left many reflecting on what drives a person to live with such intensity, and whether, in some unspoken way, the late tycoon understood that his time was drawing to a close.
