He rose to prominence during the invasions of white-owned commercial farms that started after the 2000 referendum in Zimbabwe. He is widely regarded as a militant ZANU-PF cadre with unquestionable allegiance to the old guard of the ruling party. He is the National Vice-Chairman of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association.[1] BackgroundChinotimba worked as a security guard for the Harare City Council before 2000. He joined the police section of the Municipal Council in 1982 and eventually became chief inspector.[1] Farm invasions{{BLP unsourced section|date=August 2012}}Joseph Chinotimba is credited with spearheading the violent invasions of commercial farms in Zimbabwe, in collaboration with his mentor and ally, Dr. Chenjerai Hunzvi. In 2006 it is reported that Chinotimba 'allocated' himself a plot of land in the western suburb of Mabelreign along Clevering Road and built himself a house. The land was always traditionally held for the construction of churches. In 2007 during 'Operation Murambatsvina', construction of the house was delayed but the structure was spared and is now his official residence.[2][3] Political activitiesHe has led the Zimbabwe Federation of Trade Unions, a grouping that was formed to counter the influence of the restive Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU). in June 2003 he contested for the Highfield parliamentary seat but lost. During the parliamentary elections of 2005, Chinotimba ran again, for the Highfield seat. Reports indicated that he tried to buy votes by giving voters money and food. He lost the seat. The CourtsAt one time, war veterans led by Joseph Chinotimba invaded the Supreme Court to influence decisions regarding the land question.[4][5] 2007 Robert Mugabe endorsementChinotimba, together with his close ally Jabulani Sibanda, led million-men marches across the country in the run-up to the ZANU-PF congress of December 2007 designed to endorse Robert Mugabe as the only candidate suitable to represent the party in the 2008 presidential election. Mugabe was nominated as the ZANU-PF candidate at the congress.[6] 2008 parliamentary electionIn late 2007, Chinotimba announced his intention to contest for the Buhera South constituency, a seat that Kumbirai Kangai had held since 1980, in the March 2008 parliamentary election.[7] Popular musician Alick Macheso was among others who joined Chinotimba to bolster his prospects of winning the seat. Chinotimba was successful in being nominated by ZANU-PF as its 2008 candidate for the Buhera South constituency.[8] However, in the election he was defeated by Nemadziva Naison of the Movement for Democratic Change, receiving 7,613 votes against 8,833 for Naison.[9] On 20 May 2008, SW Radio Africa reported that Chinotimba led a militia group to murder Chokuse Mupango, popularly known as Nyoka, the election strategist for Nemadziva Naison, who was beaten and stabbed to death.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}. Chinotimba's car was used to ferry Nyoka to Mutiusinazita Clinic and then to Birchenough Bridge Mortuary where Chinotimba and his accomplices disguised Nyoka as a slain ZANU-PF supporter. Chinotimba made sure that Nyoka's body was not collected and when it was later collected he made sure that no post-mortem was carried on the body by first of all instilling fear into the hearts of some of Nyoka's militant sons. Chinotimba resigned as chief inspector of the municipal police at the Harare City Council in July 2008 to concentrate on his work in politics and business.[1] References1. ^1 2 "Zimbabwe: Chinotimba Calls It a Day", The Herald (allAfrica.com), 25 July 2008. {{Current members of the Zimbabwe House of Assembly|state=autocollapse}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Chinotimba, Joseph}}2. ^Featured as one of the main profiled persons in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to4ZAXUJStw "The Last White Man in Zimbabwe" 3. ^"Mugabe and the White African" from https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/zimbabwe/6947967/Mugabe-and-the-White-African-The-Last-Stand.html 4. ^State of Judiciary 5. ^[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/03/03/wzim03.xml Chief Justice Stands down] 6. ^War Vets Split Looms (accessed 02/10/2008) 7. ^News from Buhera 8. ^"Zimbabwe: Zanu-PF Names Poll Candidates", The Herald (allAfrica.com), 15 February 2008. 9. ^"Zimbabwe election results 2008" {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080405183324/http://www.newzimbabwe.com/pages/electoral203.17984.html |date= 5 April 2008 }}, Newzimbabwe.com, 2 April 2008. 5 : Zimbabwean politicians|1950 births|Living people|Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army personnel|ZANU–PF politicians |
