Chinotimba tries his luck in acting, to feature in a local TV drama

Comical war veterans' deputy boss and fierce Zanu PF loyalist Joseph Chinotimba has never shied from making his feelings known.

The fiery Chinos has joined the bandwagon of high profile personalities trying their hand in box office and television dramas.

According to actor-cum-musician Clifford Makonese â€" who is also a script writer â€" he is working on a local drama which will feature the colourful Chinotimba.

Makonese said his forthcoming drama entitled Vachabongomora Nebongozozo will star the comical political figure.

Loosely translated in English it means They will reel from violence - an ironic title which captures the former side of the war veterans' chief.

Chinotimba is following in the footsteps of flamboyant businessman Phillip Chiyangwa who has found new love in local films.

Chiyangwa featured in The Gentleman and has a role in Kwa Zvimba - a movie currently under shoot in his home area of Zvimba.

At the weekend Chiyangwa, known for his unrivalled dressing, was in Johannesburg acquiring equipment for his crew.
