A 37-year-old Zimbabwean man is being held at the Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre near Heathrow Airport pending deportation back to Zimbabwe on Tuesday.

British immigration officials claim the picture on his old passport does not bear any resemblance to the one on his new passport.

In an interview with Nehanda Radio, Atterbell Maplanka says he travelled to Zimbabwe two weeks ago after his mother passed away.

On his way back he was detained at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday. He travelled with two passports because the expired one has the stamp reflecting his indefinite leave to remain.
