Gerry Jackson: Three weeks ago Radio Africa started broadcasting to Zimbabwe from a secret location in a London suburb.

It was set up by Gerry Jackson who realised that her career as a radio producer in Zimbabwe was under threat when her independent radio station was shut down by armed guards after only six days on air.
