Monica ‘Sele’ Chikasha
BY MUNYARADZI BLESSING DOMA
Former Miss Biggy Matofotofo Harare and dancer, Monica ‘Sele’ Chikasha, has begged flamboyant businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo for a car.
In a heartwarming post of Facebook, Sele first introduced herself to Sir Wicknell, telling him of her efforts, which include being a dancer for musicians such as the late Tongai Moyo, Alick Macheso and Sulumani Chimbetu.
Sele also detailed how she was part of the Bag Rabvaruka drama series, which also featured Jah Prayzah.
And Sele also revealed how because of her size, has become a source of ridicule, as commuter omnibus crews, sometimes charge her double the fare saying she is “too big.”
On the post, Sele also vowed to fight body shaming, which she and many others, is a victim of.
The post has since attracted over 50 comments and several shares and Sir Wicknell is yet to respond to her plea.

Below is Sele’s post on Facebook.
Dear @Sir Wicknell, my name is Monica Chikasha aka Monica Sele or just Sele. I’m a former Miss Biggy Matofotofo Harare and dancer. I used to dance kuma shows ema several musicians including the late Tongai Moyo, Alick Macheso, Sulumani Chimbetu just to mention a few. I was part of a comedy series, Bag Rabvaruka, which also featured the multi-award winning and talented Jah Prayzah who I also understand is your favourite musician. The comedy series also featured other artistes Peter Moyo, Macheso and Sulu.
As part of my reign as Miss Matofotofo, I also went to Lilongwe in Malawi where I represented our beautiful country Zimbabwe ku Miss Biggy Malawi. Now that I have done a bit of introduction, ndinouyawo ndichikumbirawo kuitirwawo mutsa Madzibaba, ndine chichemo chekukumbirawo mota yekufambisa. Ndaitawo dambudziko pakufamba my brother, zvekuti ndikayenda ku public transport kumakombi kana ma lifts ndiri kubhadhariswa mari yevanhu two kana three.
