![Hunting dangerous men in the African wilderness | Rory Duncan
Rory Duncan recalls his years manhunting on behalf of the Zimbabwean and Mozambican governments with a focus on a specific, extremely remote and mountainous area - the Chimanimani complex. There, he caught many dangerous fugitives. But one in particular stands out to him, Simon Kumbi, who Rory describes as a man adapted to his environment and so lethal at his craft that he was almost a ghost.
