Zimbabwean social media influencer Elvido found himself at the center of an unexpected commotion after he was reportedly escorted off the property during the funeral wake for the late prominent businessman Wicknell Chivayo. The incident, captured in a widely circulated video, showed several men accompanying Elvido away from Chivayo’s Gletwin residence towards the car park. The reason behind the influencer’s removal has not been publicly clarified, leading to widespread speculation and discussion across social media platforms.
