If there was any doubt that ZC was an affilliate of ZANU PF this is it. That is straight out the ZANU PF policy manual for eradication of detractors -


Zanu PF has come up with new guidelines for candidates who will take part in internal primary elections which include a requirement that only members who have served the party for five consecutive years” are eligible. .

That is one hell of a leap in logic... :?
There's no one out of our local coaches apart from hougton that's meets zim cricket critea apart form him. I can't see him taking over and I cant see anyone decent from aboard taking over. So goodness nows who will have the job next

Steve Mangongo for coach. He produced Hami, Taibu, Matsi, Elton etc. Why not lead them at National level.

Walter Chawaguta can take over at Eagles, DH is working hard at the Rocks, GB has worked wonders at the Rocks and Grant can carry on as Rhinos coach while Streak stays at Tuskers. It's better for them to have week in week out access to all the players, and hold camp from time to time sincew we don't have a CFX Academy anymore.

Criteria says that he has to have played at first class level, at least...

Mangongo would be way out of his depth, plus he is a bit too politicised I feel. Chawaguta isn't good enough to coach Eagles, he is more suited to primary school cricket I think.
My All-time Zimbabwe XI
Neil Johnson, Brendan Taylor, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), David Houghton, Sean Williams, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Paul Strang, Eddo Brandes, Blessing Muzarabani

Out of his depth!? 12 of his 14 products here(apart from the 'old' Maregwede & Hondo can easily feature in Zim & Zim XI colours. With his partner Makoni already a selector, I think all these boys will feel more at home and loved than the kind of love it's said Butcher gave them.

Hami, Elton, Taibu, Chibhabha, Shingi, Mutizwa, Utseya, Maruma, Taurai Muzarabani, Tafadzwa Kamungozi, Trevor Garwe, Tendai Chisoro, Hondo, Maregwede

Minus the Grant & Streak meddling, I'm sure Mangongo will carry on well by himself and continue the upward curve he created only for other to stiffle it. He is after all the Assistant Coach which means first in line. As for never having played FC cricket - you don't have to be a horse to be a jockey! Just like Jono's case, the rules will have to be 'adapted' when it comes to Mangongo.

Apart from Pommie, seeing as the Matambanadzos & Henry are busy with matters far from the game we love(affection they lack), the likes of Chawaguta, Mutendera etc are the pioneers as far as transformation is concerned. Speak about them with respect! If Walter won't coach Eagles, then he may as well be Steve's assistant. The Eagles can be waste their money on another import so he can work towards a County role.

It's not like any of these coaches(Butcher, Marsh, Simmons etc) have ever done anything better for Zim than these guys would. Whatever value they add carries no huge difference to what Steve can achieve at the helm of the side! Our senior cricketers are more mature now, at their prime actually, and the rapport between them and Mangongo can only be a bonus.

This is like an invitation to became a under 19 coach of Zimbabwe team because Butcher is going. So, I am exciting to see now who will be the next coach of that team.
