Sonja Louise Madzikanda, the estranged wife of businessman Wicknell Chivayo, and her mother, Tabitha Madzikanda, appeared before the Harare Magistrates Court on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, facing charges of cyberbullying and harassment. The pair was remanded in custody pending further investigation, according to reports from Zimbabwean news outlets.
The charges stem from allegations that the two women used social media platforms to harass and intimidate individuals, including Chivayo. The court did not grant bail, and the case was adjourned to a later date for a formal bail application.
Wicknell Chivayo, a controversial figure known for his lavish lifestyle and business dealings, has been involved in a public dispute with his estranged wife. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and no further details have been released by the court.
