Why Briton John Bradburne could become Zimbabwe's first Catholic saint

The John Bradburne Memorial SocietyJohn Bradburne cared for people living with leprosy in then-Rhodesia, refusing to leave them as a civil war raged

The war of independence was encroaching on the settlement. And the Rhodesian forces had withdrawn from the area. He joined the Mutemwa leper colony in 1969 as a warden, making his home in a pre-fabricated tin hut, with a grass matt for his bed and few possessions.He lived in this tin hut and was often close to starvation

"The colony was filthy and the people were dirty. There was no medication, no clothes and people went hungry. He took care of everyone's needs - feeding people, and washing and bandaging our sores."
