Makomborero Haruzivishe, a Zimbabwean pro-democracy activist, poses for a picture at the University of Kent in Canterbury, where he is now studying for a law and politics degree on the scholarship for refugees programme
A ZIMBABWEAN pro-democracy activist who was jailed said gaining a university scholarship for refugees in Britain gave him “hope in a hopeless place.”
Makomborero Haruzivishe began studying at the University of Zimbabwe in 2011, but his activism on education rights and corruption led to 37 arrests, a university ban, torture, imprisonment and being shot at.
He is now studying at the University of Kent, two years after fleeing his home in the middle of the night to South Africa.
