Sokwanele applauds New Zealand’s Prime Minister
Sokwanele applauds New Zealand’s Prime Minister Helen Clark who has said she is personally opposed to the national team’s proposed tour of Zimbabwe.
Clark told New Zealand radio Newstalk ZB that in deciding whether a tour should go ahead New Zealand Cricket (NZC) usually assessed the issue on security reasons, rather than political ones.“I have to say that, if it were me, I would not be going on either ground,” she said.
The people of Zimbabwe need the international community to unite against the war of terror that is being waged by the dictatorship upon its own people, and it takes a brave commitment by the democratic nations of the world to state the truth about Zimbabwe.
The captain of New Zealand’s cricket team has indicated that he will consider boycotting this tour. Should the tour be cancelled, we believe it will provide a strong moral statement against the oppression that exists in our country. Sokwanele supports the boycotting of sporting tours to Zimbabwe as an ethical statement against tyranny.
