A couple fleeing from Zimbabwe today told of their relief at being reunited with their family in Canvey.

Christine Janse-Van-Rensburg, 40, and husband Nicholas returned to England last week after watching the life they had known collapse.

They are lodging with Christine's parents Iris and Bruce Brinson, in Craven Avenue, who fled the troubled African country six months ago.
