No Cricket Tours to Zimbabwe

The Australian Cricket Team are being encouraged to cancel their tour of Zimbabwe later in the year. This is one area that I actually agree with Captain Howard the Sporty and Alexander the not so Sporty Downer.

This man, Mugabe is a despotic tyrant and nothing should be done to provide endorsement of his regime. If the Catholic Archbishop in Zimbabwe is prepared to face guns to get rid of the tyrant, while the rest of the African leaders bury their heads in the sand, then the least that can be done is to stop sporting endorsements, while people are being beaten and murdered and the countries economy implodes, while he lives the high life in Harare. He certainly makes Ian Smith, the heavily vilified former Prime Minister of Rhodesia look like a Saint.
