Zimbabwean magnate Sir Wicknell Chivayo is making waves again, this time by expanding his already impressive car collection with a 2024 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680, alongside his other luxurious vehicles like the 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre.
Known for his extravagant spending habits, Chivayo has consistently grabbed headlines and earned a reputation as one of Zimbabwe and Africa’s wealthiest business figures. Shortly after generously providing his immediate family with cars, he took to social media to showcase his latest addition, the 2024 Maybach S680.
In addition to treating his children to a new Mercedes-Benz GLC300d for their school transportation needs, Chivayo also gifted his brother a brand-new Mercedes-Benz C200.
Taking to Instagram, Wicknell Chivayo posted, “MADZIBABA…2024 MERCEDES BENZ S680 MAYBACH V12…If you have 6 Million rands to spare, please go and get one for yourself…You won’t be disappointed…NDICHA RAMBA NDICHI PISA.”
Photos and videos of the sleek German beast have gained thousands of comments and reactions since they dropped on the internet. Fans were quick to flood his comments section with congratulatory comments, while others begged the tycoon to gift them with cars.
Since last year, he has gifted several Zimbabweans with cars, and this has quickly become his signature. Some stars who have received cars from the Wicknell Chivayo include Jah Prayzah, Sungura maestro Aleck Macheso and Suluman Chimbetu.
This is seemingly Wicknell Chivayo’s second Maybach purchase this year. He splurged R7.5 million in January on a sleek customised Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680.
However, confirmed reports have it that his new purchase has a base price tag of R6 million. After all, it seems Wicknell Chivayo has a soft spot for Mercedes-Benz.

Some of his flashiest Mercs include an R9.5 million 2023 Mercedes-Benz G63 Brabus, an R7 million Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS600 and two Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680s.
However, against the purchase, his fans were more than convinced that it might be the latest addition to his impressive fleet in South Africa because of the car’s ‘colour.’
Surprisingly, he has two impressive fleets, one in Zimbabwe, which only has white cars. However, his fleet in South Africa is made up of ‘black cars’ only. Some of the cars Wicknell Chivayo has bought since 2023 include:
- Rolls-Royce Cullinan
- 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre
- Two Mercedes-Benz Maybachs S680
- Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS600
- Rolls-Royce Ghost
- Rolls-Royce Phantom
- 2023 Mercedes-Benz Brabus G63
- VW Amarok
In 2023, Wicknell Chivayo splurged at least R700 million on the 12-seater private jet.
