A real newspaperman

Zimbabwean editor Vincent Kahiya has had his newspaper's office raided and spent many nights sleeping on the floor in freezing, filthy prison cells for publishing editorials critical of Robert Mugabe, but he tells the Guardian he wouldn't want to work anywhere else:

[J]ust as firefighters sign up to fight fires and soldiers sign up to go to war, so journalists thrive on a "busy patch". Vincent Kahiya has had no shortage of stories in recent years to fill the Zimbabwe Independent. He mused: "It's a unique opportunity for a journalist to be in this environment. I once spent a month in Denmark on secondment and there isn't any news. People write about trees, or the trains being late."
