In Brief

He was detained by the security and intelligence people in 2004 in Zimbabwe because of his anti-Mugabe writings which were at the time appearing in newspapers outside of Zimbabwe such as The Guardian (United Kingdom) and Mmegi (Botswana). He escaped and went to Botswana to seek protection where he was detained for a year before being granted political asylum in January 2006. He currently lives in exile in Botswana and continues to preach the anti-Mugabe gospel in his writings.
