In its fourth season, Chipo the Gift continues to punch above its weight as it tackles issues mainly afflicting women and young people. This award-winning 13-episode-per-season drama with an unparalleled viewership of 3.2 million people per episode.
The play has become such a critical multi-subject carrier of matters too difficult to grapple with in our society all made easier by the medium of film mostly known for show. Don’t tell.
Directed by the award-winning Nakai Tsuro and Produced by the multi-award-winning Daves Guzha, the series has succeeded in retaining its stellar cast of Gamuchirai Mukwakwami as Chipo and Leo Jakata as the boyfriend, Spencer.
Other key artists are Dalma Chiwereva, Mercy Chirikure, Peter Churu, Tizola, Lovejoy Mwaoneka, and Lorraine Mushati. Joining in as a special guest is Charity Dlodlo of Studio 263.
Chipo is now a social worker ready and willing to help others whilst Spencer starts a support group for the rehabilitation of drug and substance abusers.
In the spirit of giving opportunities to young people, there is Kurai Muzhona as the director of photography (DOP) and Ian Jokonya as the second cameraperson.
“Issues this season 4 tackles range from the installation of a female traditional chief, to femicide and drug and substance abuse. We also explore the issue of abortion as a result of the high court ruling of last year. Once again we hope the viewers will be impacted as well as continue to make meaningful contributions to the project. Special thanks go to:- ZBCTV, YOUNG AFRICA, AND ONG RAES for their support.
