He became identified with the guerrilla group, Yu Chi Chan Club that was started by Neville Alexander, and attempted to flee to Botswana. The South African police arrested him and his associates there, but the South African Government released him due to lack of jurisdiction.

In 1991, Abrahams opened a medical practice in Windhoek, where he resides today.
