I just stumbled upon this blog. I can’t believe I got you arrested. ;) And more miraculously, I can’t believe we met each other in Rwanda! Craziest ‘small world’ story I’ve been involved in.
You couldn’t script it… So cool to have put a face to a well-known and much-appropriated name! Glad you enjoyed your small part in my time in a Zimbabwean cell 😉
Well, having heard your account first-hand, while sitting with you in our home in the Soutpanaberg Mountains, Limpopo, and being shocked by the whole business then, reading the details got me so angry all over again on your behalf. Particularly the goons reading your messages...... how shameful!! And those arrogant idiots bear no resemblance to the average open, friendly,helpful and lovely Zimbabweans that we know. But what a great rendition of the event Jake!!! And James - what a superb human being!!!
What a topsy-turvy world we live in - power hungry Authority and generous, caring servant hearted new acquaintances who one quickly calls friend and life saver ❤️ xxxx
Hi Jake. I have so enjoyed getting a glimpse into your amazing journey at various paints along the way. You write brilliantly and so vividly and I am in awe of your courage, resilience and joie de vivre. I am so sorry to hear of your traumatic time in Zimbabwe. I am relieved to hear that you escaped relatively unscathed in the end and am so glad that you met James and he proved to be a guardian angel . Safe travels for the next stage of your journey. We look forward to seeing you in person when you finally return. You will have lots of tips to share with Joe before he embarks on his travels next month. With love and prayers from the Warbrick family, Jenny

Blood-boiling, soul-chilling stuff.
The police - a force for good or bastion of the power-hungry. Discuss.
A bit too much excitement for one day.
Oh Jake, how horrific. Saw your folks last night and happy to hear your news. Well done! xx
When back to london Jake? My nerves are on edge!
