Notes
Quick timeline of “this” (the jet/asset spat that the post captures)
- Background (2017–early 2025): Wicknell and Sonja were in a long-term unregistered customary-law union (not a formal civil marriage). It ended around 2024 amid family conflicts. Wicknell publicly said he divorced Sonja because of constant fights with his family. He started a relationship with Lulu Muteke, paid lobola, and married her in March 2025. Sonja has been pushing back publicly ever since.
- March 20, 2026 – Sonja opens the latest round: In the middle of the still-ongoing court case, Sonja demands at least US$25 million for “upkeep and maintenance,” US$1 million for holidays, and the private jet as part of any settlement. She maintains the marriage was never formally dissolved. Wicknell immediately rejects it all, saying the union doesn’t entitle her to those assets under Zimbabwean law, that the jet was bought more than 7 months after they separated, and that the courts should only deal with child custody/co-parenting. The matter is sub judice (still before the courts).
- March 21, 2026 – Wicknell & Lulu clap back publicly: Wicknell posts the jet video (the exact clip in the DandaroOnline post you linked). Sonja responds directly, addressing Lulu: “Lulu, I hate to say it, but that private jet was not bought for you. It was bought in a company where me and Wicknell were directors. Then he went and he branded it, and he changed it into your name in November when I sent him divorce papers.”
- Same day – Lulu’s jab (the line in your post): Lulu fires back with the thinly-veiled shade quoted in the DandaroOnline caption: “But you still want mari yacho yekuromba…”
(Rough Shona translation/context: “But you still want that money for romba [the hustle/that thing]…” – basically calling out Sonja for still chasing the wealth.) She’s fully backing Wicknell. Gossip accounts like DandaroOnline and CrimeWatchZW turn it into instant viral #dandarostreets content. - To now (March 22, 2026, early hours): Just reactions, memes, and commentary on X (people calling it “Keeping Up with the Chivayos,” calling it childish, or defending Wicknell as a hustler). No new statements, videos, or court updates have dropped in the last ~12–18 hours. The story is still the same public back-and-forth; the court case continues in the background.
It’s classic Zimbabwean high-society drama—private jets, ex-wife vs. new wife, millions in dispute, all playing out on social media. The specific “escalating fallout with Sonja” the post refers to kicked off with Sonja’s $25M + jet claim on March 20 and exploded yesterday with the video and clapbacks. As of right now it’s quiet, but these things usually flare up again quickly.
