Zimbabwean activist granted UK scholarship after fleeing persecution for pro-democracy work.

Zimbabwean activist Makomborero Haruzivishe, who faced severe persecution for his pro-democracy work, has been granted a scholarship at the UK's University of Kent. Haruzivishe, 32, fled Zimbabwe in 2022 and was granted refugee status in the UK in 2023. Now studying law and politics, he aims to become a world-class lawyer and eventually return to Zimbabwe to help reform its social and economic systems. The university offers fee waivers and bursaries to help refugees access higher education.
