"For a very long time I could not walk on the streets without looking behind to see if a mob or the police were after me," Steve Kyenze begins. From the marks on his face, it is evident he has been to hell and back.
However, from his calm demeanor that puts one at ease, this gentle giant - if his build and height are anything to go by - it is hard to believe that he was once on the Government watch list.

His father passed away in the 1982 military coup and after battling an illness, his mother who was also in the military, succumbed in the year 2000.
