BULAWAYO based author Crispen Ndlovu recently found a live bullet in his letter box at his home and immediately alerted his lawyers, NewZimbabwe.com reported.
Ndlovu recently released a new political satire novel titled Sleeping with the Enemy, which focuses on the Government of National Unity (GNU) era where the ruling Zanu-PF party, shared power with the opposition MDC parties.
He believes the latest antics are a reaction to his latest project.
The author, who has had a brush with the law for his controversial works, is also the author of Guveya (2013), a political satire which cast the spotlight on the 1980s Gukurahundi atrocities.
Meanwhile, Tineyi Mukwewa of Abammeli Lawyers for Human Rights confirmed receiving the report and said he is yet to meet Ndlovu to decide on the course of action.
"We will assist him to make a police report that he has received such a threat and then from there the relevant authorities who are the police should then start investigating," said Mukwewa.
