Joachim “G6” Chivayo — widely known on Zimbabwean social media for his high-flying lifestyle — has been declared wanted by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) in South Africa after failing to appear in court in connection with a R15 million gold case.
The development builds on IOL’s November 28, 2024 report detailing the arrest of Chivayo and Ayanda Brian Gungwa after they were found in possession of six bars of unwrought gold valued at approximately R15 million during a Hawks Serious Organised Crime Investigation operation in Brakpan. A Mercedes-Benz SUV was also seized at the time.
On Monday, Hawks national Hawks spokesperson, Brigadier Thandi Mbambo told IOL that both accused were granted bail of R20,000 each by the Brakpan Magistrate’s Court on November 28, 2024.
Mbambo said the court imposed strict bail conditions, including that both accused were not permitted to leave the Republic of South Africa or the province of Gauteng pending finalisation of the matter. They were also required to report to the Brakpan Police Station once a week on Sundays with effect from December 1, 2024.
The matter was postponed to February 25, 2025 for further investigation. —IOL
