Johann Abrahams and Godknows Nare spent three months investigating conditions inside prisons in Zimbabwe for their television report “Hell Hole”. Their work exposed severe human-rights violations and starving prisoners. It led to worldwide condemnation and an immediate response from the Zimbabwean government, first denying the authenticity of the footage and then later promising change within 30 days. International aid agencies and human rights groups were then given access to prisons to help, which resulted in many lives being saved. Johann is the executive producer of an investigative programme called “Special Assignment”. Co-producer Godknows is a freelance producer born in Zimbabwe.
