Chenhamo Chakezha "Chen" Chimutengwende (28 August 1943 – 16 January 2025) was a Zimbabwean politician who was the Minister of State for Public and Interactive Affairs.
[3] During the 1960s and 1970s Chimutengwende lived in exile in London, England, where he directed the Europe-Africa Research Project from a basement in Gower Street.
He earned a master's degree in social science and a PhD from the University of Bradford, writing a doctoral thesis on "Mass Media and the State in the Socio-Economic Development Process".
Chimutengwende responded by saying to a crowd in Mazowe: "I love England, that country will always have a special place in my heart, but I am a proud Zimbabwean and always will be."
Shepherd Mushonga was notably in favour of Mugabe's controversial land reform program, whereas Chimutengwende was more introspective about the issue.
