Shadhaya responded to a comment by sir Wicknell Chivhayo suggesting that he could have gotten a Toyota car. In his comment he scrapped the idea.
Many of his followers resorted to set up a fund me for him to buy a car but the philosopher had this to say:
I appreciate the gesture by a lot of y’all to want to contribute towards a car, but I humbly decline. I am content with what I have, at the stage that I am in life
At the same time, if we can have the mindset towards contributing a luxury item for an individual, surely we can also contribute towards vulnerable members of society e.g orphans, the elderly, the disabled, young girls in rural areas with no access to sanitary pads
We got bigger problems, cholera, an impeding drought, drug addiction in our communities. Let us channel our energy and funds towards such things. Let us look beyond the individual, let us be more about the group
Journalist Hopewell Chin,ono applauded this take and had this to say:
Well done @Shadaya_Knight 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
It was embarrassing to watch old men and women grovelling before a convicted criminal for a car.
You have set a very good example by refusing to accept a free car and also reminding your followers that any well meant gift should go towards societal problems like healthcare!
Well done once more young man
This comes after several bloggers who were inclined to Zanu PF were offered Toyota Aqua cars as a thank you for their contribution in the 2023 elections
