Zimbabwean writer Simbarashe Kundizeza has strongly denied allegations that he used artificial intelligence to write his short story 'The Blue Fighter', which won the Caine Prize for African Writing.

Kundizeza stated he has a documented history of the story's development and is cooperating with the prize's internal investigation by providing drafts and records.
