Here is some interesting information about the aircraft Wicknell Chivayo is flying around in.
Registration number ZS-ACT
The aircraft ZS-ACT is identified as a Bombardier Challenger 300, a business jet manufactured in 2004 with serial number 20034.
It is registered in South Africa and actively tracked for flights, indicating its use in private aviation.
While public records confirm ZS-ACT is owned by a "Private owner," the exact name of the owner is not available online due to privacy protections.
However keep reading i will reveal the owner.
In South Africa, aircraft registrations are managed by the SACAA, which operates an operator registry rather than an owner registry, meaning ownership details are not part of the public registration process.
An interesting finding is that an older aircraft with the same registration, ZS-ACT, was a DH.80A Puss Moth owned by Rhodesian Aviation Co in 1931, sold to Southern Rhodesia in 1935. This shows that registrations can be reused over time, which might confuse ownership records.
The aircraft ZS-ACT is operated by Searay BD100 Charters Partners, a partnership based in South Africa with connections to Seardel and the Searll family.
It seems wicknell has a long term lease with Seary BD100 Charter partners hence the madzibaba logo & the aircraft belonging to Seary BD100 Charter partners.
A deep search shows no link between the Searll family & the convicted criminal Chiviyo
On the 6th of march Wicknell said in his own words “owning a private jet is nothing short of incredible”
It’s is likely to cost between 36k to 50k/month to lease or 6k/hour according to industry standards.
It seem Wicknell has no businesses registered in his name but Intratek & a dissolved one in UK called Bateman energy international in October 2016 that was dissolved & registered at a house in Bracknell.
Stay tuned as I go deeper into Wicknell Chiviyos character & shady lifestyle.
Remember Mo Dollars? Yeah something along those lines. Research shows he is linked to gold smuggling also. His brother Joachim Chivayo was caught with $780 000 worth of gold in South Africa in November 2024.
A court case is ongoing and was scheduled for 25 Feb 2025
Though no updates to date.
To be continued as I go deeper looking into potential businesses Wicknell owns in Mauritius that he uses to launder money
