Portia GwanzuraThursday 19 December 2002
Portia Gwanzura is one of Zimbabwe's biggest musical stars and a household name - yet she's been expelled from her own country.

Because of her criticism of Robert Mugabe and his policies - and for one song in particular, Zvinhuzyaoma, she fell into trouble with the government. Portia was deported to Britain where she's been living as a refugee in Manchester.
Portia Gwanzura joins Jenni to talk about why she had to flee and what is happening in her homeland today.
