He stood close to the International Fellowship of Reconciliation that in 1957 opened a branch in Southern Rhodesia ( now known as Zimbabwe . ) Another five-year ban confined him to a radius of his home . The ban was temporarily lifted while he testified at the continuing treason trials . It was lifted again in March 1960 , to permit his arrest for publicly burning his pass following the Sharpeville massacre . In the ensuing state of emergency he was arrested , found guilty , fined , given a suspended jail sentence , and finally returned to Groutville . One final time the ban was lifted , this time for 10 days in early December 1961 , to permit Lutuli and his wife to attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies in Oslo , an award described by '' Die Transvaler '' as " an inexplicable pathological phenomenon "
