Zim Govt Clears ZC

If anyone knows about theft it is Themba Mliswa.

Whoa, guys... I was just interested that nobody had commented yet that's all, and we normally interested in such articles.

Googly, just because I sided with HHM on a number of issues doesn't mean I endorse all his views. I was the very first on this forum to tangle with him, and I never backed down to this day. Divergent opinion is healthy.

The ZC leadership might very well be accused of poor leadership or mismanagement but nobody has yet to prove outright theft which is largely alleged in these forums. The ICC cleared them when the accusations were more vehement, now I don't see what's in it for them or their interest to keep the current board in place.

Anyway, Financial issues are by no means my forte which is why you will find me mum, bring on the cricket and teams, I will be vocal and stick to my points. And no, I still don't get all the hate on hhm. Get be absurd sometimes, but why would you be offended by hhm if you aren't by zimdoggy and Googly in his first few days here?

Conant, the odd thing about Kanengoni-Malinga's 'clearing' of ZC is that the words apparently attributed to her are exactly those supplied to us by ZC/Chingoka in response to our line of questioning. Word for word. I didn't want to say anything until our piece was published today, but how exactly is government clearing ZC of alleged wrongdoing by reading out a ZC statement?

Noted, Liam. Government, as you know, is stupid. On another note, Temba Mliswa says "no way a Minister can buy a bank with clean money in this economy". Aah, life gets interesting.

Holla @ my namedrop!

Why would anyone be offended by ZIMDOGGY?

Or by me, I'm a nice guy!!

Allegations of financial misappropriation are difficult to prove because one would need to be privy to all the cash flows and I'm absolutely certain that no-one is. Financial mismanagement is glaringly obvious. Without full accountability there is absolutely no danger that ZC's hands are clean, if they were, then they would be the only Organization anywhere, let alone Zimbabwe, the most corrupt place on planet earth.

How long can these guys operate with no support or confidence from any sector? Of late there is virtually no single person, outside of ZC itself, that supports or endorses them in any way. Now is the time to demand change.... well actually the prime time was a few days ago, prior to the Zim team agreeing to terms, but they predictably folded. I would love to have been a fly on the wall during those negotiations. The third force that is supposedly destabilizing everything does not exist. There is one, but it is keeping these guys in power.

The fact is that people are afraid of change. Plus there do not appear to be any suitable alternatives, certainly none that are putting their hands up. What scares me is that I don't think anyone would be comfortable with a white guy in any prominent position and this does not sit well with me. Post WC is going to be the telling. There will be some money and these guys are going to blow through it in double quick time, then what? Surely we are all too tired to go through all of this yet again?

Conant, what's the perception of Ellman_Brown, Pichanick and Arnott amongst the black fraternity?

“The ZPCA said the pool would guarantee player payments and so avoiding the situation which occurred late last year of delayed salaries andmatch fees and enable ZC and the ZPCA to agree in due course on the appropriate number of contracts for next seas

on.
So the players will be paid-who'll pay their medical insurance, who'll pay travel,accommodation,washing their clothes, food during match days? ZC may just tell them to provide their own transport and accommodation and food out of their new wage bill- perhaps?
