Summary
Hezvo Mpunga was born in Zambia, but after the war of independence he returned to Zimbabwe with his family. His parents died when he was very young, so he spent most of his young years in children’s homes. He feels he was fortunate as there were children who had no homes at all. When he was 21, Hezvo moved to the US, and studied computer science. Recently he has been living in Toronto. He loves the North American experience, and mentions that it is not better or worse, just very different. At the same time he is not sure if he will be able to fully integrate as he is still very passionate about Zimbabwe.
