Former convict shares his life lessons
Rusty Labuschagne, who was allegedly falsely accused and wrongfully convicted, gives life-changing talk in Randfontein.
On Saturday, 14 September, the AFM/AGS Groen Weivelde church hosted the Beating Chains event.
People arrived in numbers to listen to Rusty Labuschagne, who told them about how he was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 15 years in Zimbabwe’s prisons and the harrowing conditions he had to face, as well as what he learned and experienced personally, mentally and spiritually.
“My whole goal now is to make a difference in society and people’s lives” said Rusty, who wrote 70 per cent of the book Beating Chains while serving his 10-year sentence in prison, on a prohibited iPhone. In the book he tells about his life story, the moments leading up to his sentencing, experiences in jail and life after finally being set free.
