Munn, Allan: - Allan Munn was born and raised in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. His family have lived in Africa for five generations. Their clerical grandparents originated in Scotland.
His many years in Africa offer a deep reverence for nature and community. He graduated with a Masters, majoring in African rural communication and researched African culture, spiritual beliefs and paranormal phenomena.
In 1971, the author founded the Munn Group of Companies, which after thirty-five years of operations in southern Africa, became the largest consumer magazine publishers and media distributors north of the Limpopo River. The company traded successfully throughout the region and internationally.
The late 1970s was a time of unprecedented political unrest in southern Africa. During this period, the author was co-founder of the political activist group 'The September Declaration' that called on the UDI Prime Minister Ian Smith to acknowledge a negotiated settlement with Zimbabwe's liberation armies. He worked with the then British and American governments and white and black political leaders whilst attempting to reach this objective.
In the 1990s, under the rule of the Mugabe regime, corruption mushroomed in Zimbabwe. This encouraged the formation of a powerful opposition political party 'The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC)'. The author was invited to become a provincial chairman of the party. The MDC opposed the Mugabe regime's political philosophy.
Munn was co-founder of the Environment Africa Foundation and is the author of the book Extinction Is Forever.
The Munn Drought Relief Trust Fund in rural Zimbabwe was funded and formed by the author and he was co-founder of The Thoroughbred Trust of Zimbabwe.
National hyperinflation and the collapse of Zimbabwe's national infrastructure forced the closure of the author's personal and business interests.
In 2002 political persecution forced him to escape from Zimbabwe in fear of his life.
