by Gabs · MyNewsGh.comA fresh detail has emerged from the helicopter crash that killed Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo, with co-pilot Captain Courage Mutavirwa reportedly leaving behind a pregnant wife just seven months after their wedding.
Mutavirwa was among the five people confirmed by Zimbabwean police to have died when the helicopter crashed at Kudenga Farm in Marondera on September 30.
Chivayo, his wife Lucy Rujeko Muteke, her aide Saneliswe Magagula and pilot Calvin Tafirei Soda were also killed.
According to a fresh update shared on Facebook, Mutavirwa married his wife in March 2026, meaning their marriage lasted only about seven months before the fatal crash.
