Amai Eunor Guti, the widow of the late ZAOGA FIF founder Archbishop Ezekiel Guti, told members of her church that she rejected a car and large sum of money reportedly offered by businessman Wicknell Chivhayo, citing church values and her late husband’s legacy.Speaking during a church address, Amai Guti said she was approached by an emissary who pleaded with her to accept the generous gifts from Chivhayo a man she says she has never met She claims the offers were persistent, with different people sent to convince her, but she remained resolute.“I stood firm My father never walked that way He never received such gifts
I didn’t want anything personal or for the church,” she said to applause The statement has drawn both praise and criticism online Many have commended her for taking a moral stance amid a culture of conspicuous giving, often tied to questionable sources However, others say the gesture rings hollow without revisiting the unresolved issue of the Farm Mechanisation Programme scandal from 2007
Archbishop Guti was listed among high-profile beneficiaries of the controversial state-backed scheme, receiving over US$116,000 worth of farming equipment a debt many never repaid Source: Gambakwe
