Always wonder where some of our former players are and what they are doing now. Whether still in Zim or overseas. Besides the Andy and Grant Flowers, Masakadza's, Coaches. Does anyone know where any former players are now today.
likes of Barney Rogers, Brian Vittori, Trevor Gripper and the likes

This info could be wildly out of date but Barney Rogers had a car yard in Harare 5 years ago I think. Gripper still around as her always commenting on Facebook and has Harare as his hometown and Vitori disappeared like a thief in the night as soon as he got done for ‘cheating’.

Sidepoint;
As a Harare white dude don’t you know this stuff?
I say that because with such a small closed in community, surely everyone knows loosely of each other or sees them around?
I’m seriously curious about that.

Dougie Marillier is still in Zim, has been in property development for years. Owns quite a few properties as landlord around Harare and has bought a plot of land just recently further south recently to build houses on. Top top guy.
Travis Friend is a pilot, lives overseas.
Viljoen is still in Zim. Heard he owns some race horses and a also a gym somewhere.?
Bligs was a Peterhouse coach as of about 2-3 years ago as I had a chat with him at a kids match, but not sure if he still is or if he's gone to another school.
Gripper has a few small investments in mining in Kadoma, and is also the local Zim sales/import rep for a motor oil company.

Dirk was commentating on the recent Zimbabwe Zambia rugby games, I think he still has a morning radio show in Zimbabwe. Marriller's lad Cody is a good player.
