Flamboyant businessman Wicknell Chivayo, Sir Wicknell to his legion of admirers, has come to the rescue of a Gwanda Man who is suffering from cancer.

24-year-old Tamson Phiri who is suffering from a rare form of cancer diagnosed as invasive squamous cell carcinoma needs RTGS$16 000 for the surgery and subsequent facial reconstruction.

After seeing Phiri’s plight on social media, the flamboyant businessman quickly tracked down Phiri’s doctor and transferred the full sum required for the surgery. Sharing the information on social media, Chivayo tweeted…

Thank you for all the tweets. Gwanda town is my second home, my work, my passion, and my future so I had to also chip in. His CABS and POSB accounts could not accept the payment so I located his Doctor. Wishing Mr. Phiri a successful operation and may God bless him.

Award-winning journalist Hopewell Chin’ono had also managed to secure the services of a surgeon and an anesthetist who had volunteered to do the surgery for free. Giving an update last night, Chin’ono said,

A surgeon & anesthetist have offered to do the operation at no cost. Baines Imaging Group also offered to do the scans for free. He now needs money for hospital fees where the operation will be done. As of this morning, he has $6000 from your donations. Thank you.Will update you.
