Wicknell Chivayo Gifts Mudiwa Hood 2025 Range Rover for Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy

Prominent businessman Wicknell Chivayo has awarded entrepreneur and musician Mudiwa Hood a brand-new 2025 Range Rover Sport 3.0 Autobiography in recognition of Hood’s achievements in business, academia, and community development.

Chivayo announced the gesture this week, citing Hood’s growth from his upbringing in Chitungwiza to becoming one of the country’s most visible young entrepreneurs. The luxury SUV, which is fully paid for, is set to be collected from Exquisite Car Dealership on Monday.

Hood, who holds qualifications in economics and banking, has built a diverse business portfolio spanning construction, energy, real estate, logistics, media, finance and fashion. He is also an award-winning hip-hop artist, author and motivational speaker. His popular track Ndaida Mari Ndina Mwari continues to resonate with audiences for its message on faith and success.

Beyond his business interests, Hood runs the Mudiwa Hood Foundation, which supports various charitable causes and youth initiatives. His motivational book, Shut Up & Make Money, has also positioned him as a mentor for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Chivayo described Hood as a “disciplined, hardworking and versatile young leader,” saying the gift was meant to encourage him to continue championing youth empowerment and personal development.

The recognition adds to Hood’s growing public profile and underscores the increasing visibility of young Zimbabwean entrepreneurs contributing to both business innovation and community upliftment.
