Musupi came from Zimbabwe to Ireland to apply for asylum in 2007. He stayed in Ireland for more than two years during his application process, and then decided that he wanted to return to Zimbabwe. He learned about the VARRP and approached IOM staff to ask for assistance.

Before he returned, Musupi prepared himself for the economic conditions at home. He said, “There are many business opportunities…but jobs are not easy to come by.” Because he researched employment before returning, he quickly found work as a university lecturer in Sports Science and Coaching. He is hoping to contribute to the Zimbabwean sports industry, especially to Paralympic sports, and says that he would like to study internationally again.
