I can't find any evidence of them touring, but the gentlemen in question have all played for that team, even a "D Rogers" once: http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Score ... 42420.html
Ah! It could be him, no further details available there...

This trip must have been a similar one, but filled with more lesser known faces. Here's the pic of a few squad members on board the plane... and the stewardess...

The tiny guy right in the middle is Eboo Essop Adam.

In that pic of Penney I see Graeme Du Preez and Ryan Botha, neither of whom were Zim age group cricketers, so what tour was that?

Graeme du Preez played for various sides like Young Zimbabwe, Zim U-25s and Zim B: https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Play ... 74742.html (assuming that "G du Preez" = Graeme du Preez)

505. Speaking of tours, here's a logo of one of the old provincial associations, ripped off the cover of an old tour programme. "It's tiny, the logo, but it's huge. I can guarantee you, there's no problem there" (to quote the POTUS). Name the association.

No further details. Yes, its those two and some Graham Reid, Ray Rosenberg and Adrien Stone, apparently.
