Oppah Chamu Zvipange Muchinguri is a Zimbabwean politician, currently serving as Minister of Environment, Water and Climate.[2] She ran as the ZANU-PF candidate for Mutasa Central constituency in the March 2008 parliamentary election, but was defeated by Trevor Saruwaka, a candidate of the Movement for Democratic Change. According to official results, Muchinguri received 4,764 votes against 9,228 votes for Saruwaka.[3]

The Herald reported on January 3, 2009, that Muchinguri had been dismissed from the Cabinet earlier in the week, along with 11 other ministers, because she no longer held any seat in Parliament.[4]
