Not many people might know that the Zimbabwe Cricket Union's (ZCU) official letterhead, has
PATRON: HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE, CD R.G. MUGABE

printed proudly at the bottom of it.

Curious that this branding hasn't "slipped" off the bottom over the last ten years of letterhead re-prints.

Also curious that the ZCU haven't been brave enough to remove Mugabe's violent fisted presidential posters (tatty as they are) that adorn the entrance to Harare Sports Club, the official Harare venue for the World Cup Cricket matches. Perhaps their reluctance to do so is on account of the machine gun, bayonet toting presidential guards that strut menacingly up and down the road adjacent to Harare Sports Club.

So, if it really is safe in Harare, what's stopping the ZCU from cleaning up its own backyard?

The Zimbabwe Cricket Union politicised cricket by making Mugabe their Patron.

If they even include him on their letterhead do you really think that the ZCU aren't going to invite Mugabe to officially open the World Cup Cricket matches in Zimbabwe?

Organised Resistance is confident that Zimbabweans, suffering in their millions, will not have to watch this spectacle of sickening misplaced diplomacy. Local and world wide support for a boycott is growing.

Join the protest.

Don't let Mugabe use World Cup Cricket for his political advantage.
It's not a game anymore.
