Apart from being a freedom fighter, [Tendamudzimu Robert] Ratshitanga wrote many books, some of which he wrote while in jail.
In 1988 one of his books, Masase, won the CNA literature award. This happened while he was in prison serving a five-year term for harbouring guerrillas. In 1986 his book, Vhadzimu vha Tshenuwa, was prescribed for Grade 12 pupils.
