Re: Old Mutual back sponsoring Cricket

The last part of my previous comment really bothered me. The fact is guys won't play club cricket unless they get paid. They want a top ground magically laid on for them, umpires, scorers, food, transport etc.

Re: Old Mutual back sponsoring Cricket

So are u ok with the Chinese being here? The players are not the issue, it's the administrators. My only issue with black players is their acceptance of the current administration. They seem to swallow any and all things that are told to them and although they want things to work better they seemed ...

Re: Old Mutual back sponsoring Cricket

Tobacco farming is the cash crop of choice amongst the small scale farmers. They have struggled to regulate it and the whole thing is fairly chaotic but it does work. Sales and the queues and the chaos at the floors (lots of them now as well) and outside are a sight to behold. It provides a living f...

Re: Old Mutual back sponsoring Cricket

Hard to say, I see a few folk coming back, actually. The trend is for school leavers to head overseas for University and/or a gap year or two. Invariably most don't come back, but there is trickle of 30 somethings looking here again. There's no jobs for anyone here anymore (90-95% unemployment), but...

Re: Hypothetical: Zimbabwe becoming a franchise in South Afr

It should be a source of acute embarrassment and shame and not a right, that you are chosen by the color of your skin and not by your ability.

Re: Old Mutual back sponsoring Cricket

Less than one tenth, same bullshit that ZC dish out and everyone seems to swallow. Tobacco production is not too bad, three quarters of what it used to be, but poor quality. Nothing else going on, the nation can't even feed itself, we get most of our maize now from Zambia where there are around 400 ...
