Bush Radio's Zane Ibrahim is scheduled to arrive in Cape Town early this week after his ordeal at the hands of United States security officials.

Ibrahim, a driving force behind the growth of community radio in South Africa, had been invited to address a conference at Goucher College, near Baltimore, on 10 years of democracy.

The veteran journalist spoke to the Cape Argus by telephone hours after he was released by agents of homeland security, a specialised anti-terrorism agency created by President George Bush in the wake of the attacks September 11 attacks.

Ibrahim, 65, said he was hustled off an international flight after it touched down in Baltimore on Thursday, strip-searched and interrogated for nearly 12 hours about Bush Radio's Bush Against War campaign.
