Sapatina Sapatina: Viral Star Gifted Toyota Fortuner & $20k by Sir Wicknell Chivayo
A moment of pure, unscripted joy has captured the heart of a nation and culminated in a life-changing reward. The man behind the viral "Sapatina Sapatina" meme, Madzibaba Chipaga, has been gifted a brand-new Toyota Fortuner and US$20,000 cash by prominent businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo.
The Viral Moment: "Food of Angels"
The story began at a historic event at State House, where the First Family hosted over 9,000 members of the VaPostori church for lunch. The meal, provided by Chicken Inn, set the stage for a moment of pure, ecstatic gratitude that would soon go viral.
In a video from the event, a joyful church member, Madzibaba Chipaga, is seen savoring his meal. Overwhelmed with delight, he spontaneously exclaims, "Sapatina Sapatina, kudya kwengirozi" – a phrase that translates to "the food of angels" – and a national meme was born.
Sir Wicknell's Message
Sir Wicknell Chivayo, who was also in attendance at the event, took to Facebook to announce the grand gift. He explained that he was deeply moved by Madzibaba Chipaga's "exceptional gratitude" and his praise for their shared VaPostori faith. As a fellow "Madzibaba," he felt compelled to respond to this powerful expression of joy.
"Tichiri mu SAPATINA SAPATINA imomo, endai munowona MADZIBABA CHIPAGA pa Enterprise Car Sales mangwana Monday, movati hanzi na Madzibaba Wicknell ndisarudze BRAND NEW 2025 Toyota Fortuner GD6 2,4 d ye $65,000...Pamusoro pazvo, mundipe mari inoita $20,000 cash yekuti ndizo dire fuel, change yacho ndikwanise kutenga CHICKEN INN, kudya kweNGIROZI, pose pandinenge ndadira."
