“You see them rolling and think you’ll catch them riding dirty,” rapped Chamillionaire, but in the case of businessmen Wicknell “B.I.G” Chivayo and Tazvi Mhaka, their ride from the streets to the boardroom has been nothing short of a squeaky-clean metamorphosis.
I’ve had the privilege of witnessing this transformation firsthand.
Chivayo, known for his flashy lifestyle and deep loyalty to those close to him, has been gifting luxury cars like confetti to patriotic citizens. But this time, he upped the ante, spoiling his longtime friend, Joseph “Chief J” Mhaka, with a jaw-dropping gift—a Facelift Bentley Bentayga V8 2023, worth a cool half a million dollars. The streets were abuzz, but this gesture wasn’t just about showing off; it was a symbol of loyalty, brotherhood, and a bond forged over decades.

The sleek, powerful Bentley—a “beauty in the beast”—is the perfect metaphor for the grit and glamour of these two men. Chivayo, always the hype man, took to social media to serenade Chief J with praise, celebrating their friendship that stretches back over 32 years. Despite his larger-than-life persona, Chivayo’s heartfelt message revealed the softer side of his flashy exterior:
“THAT GLORIOUS MOMENT when you decide to honor loyalty, FRIENDSHIP, and brotherhood with the kind of gesture that shakes the ground beneath us! THIS HALF A MILLION dollar beauty, the FACELIFT 2023 BENTLEY BENTAYGA V8 SPORT, now belongs to none other than the one man who has proven time and again that real friendship is not just words but action—Congratulations to you, Mr. JOSEPH TAZVIONA MHAKA.”
Their connection runs deep. Both men hail from humble beginnings—Chief J from the gritty streets of Mufakose, and Chivayo from Chitungwiza. Chivayo’s rise to prominence took him through a Group A school in Norton, where he might have fallen in love with the swagger of the late Notorious B.I.G., a style that still influences his wardrobe today. His journey from the ghetto to the bright lights of New York City has been intertwined with Chief J, a man who has always had his back.
“Real friendship is not just words but action,” Chivayo emphasized in his tribute, reflecting on how Chief J stood by him through thick and thin. Whether hustling in the streets or navigating the corridors of power, their bond has remained unshaken.
Chief J, a media-shy figure, prefers to keep his success low-key, though his philanthropy and ventures in farming speak volumes. As a successful farmer specializing in animal husbandry, Chief J is contributing to Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030, aligning with the government’s push under President Mnangagwa.
For Chivayo, who is internationally connected and known for his business ventures, this gift wasn’t just about wealth—it was a public declaration of brotherhood. “This car doesn’t just symbolize wealth, it stands as a marker of the milestones we’ve crossed together,” he said. He credited Chief J for being his rock during the hardest times, adding, “When the world threw shade, you were the rock I leaned on.”
While Chivayo basks in the media limelight, Chief J remains content with a quieter life, focused on his work and staying out of the spotlight. But moments like these remind us that even in the world of big money and even bigger egos, loyalty and friendship are the true currency.
And what better way to celebrate it than with a half-million-dollar Bentley, a ride that turns heads while rolling as clean as their bond?
