Flamboyant businessman Wicknell Chivayo has once again made headlines, this time for matters of the heart. The wealthy entrepreneur recently got engaged to his girlfriend, Lucy ‘Lulu’ Muteke, just over a month after publicly confirming their relationship. True to his extravagant nature, Chivayo spared no expense in making the occasion as memorable as possible.
The engagement took place during an intimate dinner at a restaurant, where Chivayo proposed with a stunning diamond-encrusted engagement ring valued at an eye-watering US$35,000 (approximately R650,000). The exquisite ring, purchased from renowned South African jewellers Browns, is a Fire & Ice piece featuring a 2-carat emerald cut diamond surrounded by pear and marquise cut diamonds. To silence critics and doubters, Chivayo even shared a certificate of authenticity from Browns on his Instagram account.
In a video shared on his verified Instagram page, Lulu Muteke is seen admiring her dazzling engagement ring in astonishment. The video, accompanied by Enzo Ishall’s hit song Raroorwa, captures the joyous moment as Lulu flaunts her new jewel for the camera. The engagement ring is set in platinum and 18-carat rose gold, containing a total of 12 natural diamonds—a true symbol of opulence and commitment.
Before the engagement, Wicknell Chivayo had spoken publicly about what made Lulu Muteke special to him. In an open and heartfelt statement, he emphasized that their bond was founded on compatibility and mutual values. He highlighted his desire for love and stability, stating:
“That said, I CANNOT remain single forever. As a man, I long for peace and love in my home—a place where I can come back to someone who supports me, COOKS for me, and offers companionship. While I respect and cherish the relationship I share with my ex-wife as co-parents, my new partner is someone who I feel aligns with my values and brings joy and PEACE into my life.”
By choosing Lulu, Wicknell Chivayo believes he has found the right person to share his life with. He also addressed rumors that Muteke had any past association with his ex-wife, refuting claims that the two women were once friends. “She is VERY BEAUTIFUL in my eyes, with no negative history. I will ignore all the blatant lies that she was friends with my ex-wife or used to buy cakes from her,” he stated firmly.
Beyond the engagement ring, Wicknell Chivayo has already hinted at a lavish traditional marriage ceremony. He proudly announced his intentions to pay a substantial lobola for Lulu, in keeping with cultural traditions. Given his history of extravagant spending, many expect the lobola negotiations to be nothing short of spectacular. One key factor in their relationship is Lulu’s acceptance of Wicknell Chivayo’s deeply held apostolic faith. This spiritual connection, combined with their mutual respect and understanding, has further solidified their bond.
As the couple embarks on their journey towards marriage, many are eager to see what the future holds for them. Wicknell Chivayo’s engagement to Lulu has already become a hot topic, sparking discussions across social media platforms. With his well-documented flair for grand gestures and luxurious spending, their wedding promises to be an unforgettable event.
