He lives lavishly and is regarded as one of the richest business tycoons in Zimbabwe. In recent years he has made Dubai his playground.
Against the backdrop of his acquisitions, social media was abuzz as Zimbabweans flooded into his comments section with comments of appraisal.

BUSINESS EMPIRE AND CONTROVERSY
Chivhayo rose to prominence after winning several Zimbabwean government contracts through his company Intratek Zimbabwe.
In 2017 he was awarded a multi-million rand contract with Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC).
However, he has had his fair share of drama. Chivayo was recently acquitted of misappropriating $5.6 million (R106.27 million) for the abortive 1000MW Gwanda Solar Project.
At some point, Chivhayo single-handedly sponsored the Zimbabwe national football team but later withdrew that sponsorship.
