Simon Pashoma Ncube Receives US$20,000 from Sir Wicknell Chivayo to Revive His Life
Simon Pashoma Ncube has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Sir Wicknell Chivayo after receiving US$20,000.
Ncube’s Heartfelt Plea
Last week, the former ZBC radio presenter turned to social media, pleading for help from Chivayo. His emotional video revealed his dire situation, living on a plot in Chivhu, Chikomba West, Mashonaland East province. Ncube received this plot during the land reform program but faced significant challenges. He has struggled to utilize the land due to a lack of resources, leaving him in poverty.

A Desperate Plea for Help
In his video, Ncube introduced himself, stating, “Warm greetings to you, Cde Sir Wicknell Chivayo. As per my video clip, my name is Simon PaShoma Ncube, formerly a Radio 2 / Radio Zimbabwe personality, who was popularly known as Cde Kunakirwa.”
He explained his difficult circumstances, “I was retrenched in 2015 and have not yet received my pension from ZBC News Online. Currently, I am wallowing in abject poverty in Chikomba West/Chivhu at a plot that I got through the land reform program.”
Ncube also mentioned his disability, which worsened his plight. “I want to play my part in ensuring the success of the Agrarian Reform, but without resources, it remains a pipe dream,” he lamented.
He highlighted Sir Wicknell’s reputation for helping individuals and communities. “I appreciate and salute your contribution to the upliftment of ordinary Zimbabweans,” he stated. “Your gesture is in line with our beloved President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s vision, kusimudzira veruzhinji.”
A Life Transformed
Ncube concluded his heartfelt request by humbly asking for assistance. “It is in line with this that I humbly come to you, dear Cde, asking for any assistance that you can offer me. Long live Cde, and may the Almighty continue to bless you,” he expressed.
