The true story of a man falsely accused and framed, stripped of his dignity and left with nothing. Rusty Labuschagnes account of his ten years in Zimbabwes notorious prisons and the life lessons he learned from his ordeal.
'Few would've survived Rusty's ordeal an incredible story of hope and resilience.' Stephen McGown, author of Six Years a Hostage
Rusty Labuschagne has been through a trauma few have experienced and disclosed. In 2003, the successful Zimbabwean businessman, who ran a safari outfit, flew his own aircraft and had a fishing resort on Lake Kariba, was framed by a poacher, the police, and the courts and wrongfully convicted of drowning a poacher.
He served ten years in Zimbabwe's prisons, including the notorious Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, where he suffered through food shortages, no running water, and people dying around him daily.
Rusty lost everything he had worked so hard for, but most of all, his freedom. His story is a testament to his extraordinary resilience in conditions most would find unbearable.
He shares the life lessons he learned how to harness your inner strength, how to forgive, and how to show gratitude as he found true freedom through sincerity and humility.
Rusty's is an inspiring story of true grit in the face of great adversity, of a man who loses everything as he is broken by a corrupt political system, but who then rises to fight that system on his own terms. In doing so he rebuilds himself from the inside out.
Few wouldve survived Rustys ordeal an incredible story of hope and resilience
