ZCF Hall of Famer
The number of vehicles owned by ZC is scary. None of the players have been given one though. BT earns way less than 7 a month. There are plants within the team that report back to ZC about any player discontent, or any plans they may hatch to take it further. These guys are senior players and smooth troubled waters for the ZC before any players take joint action. Two main culprits. They have it well planned. It's been like that for a long time. It must be a Zimbabwe thing. If the National side stood their ground right now as a combined force they could force some changes, it's that simple as there isn't the depth to replace them. It's like watching old war footage of one lone Nazi soldier herding 4000 POW's without any personal risk.

It is this situation where I am disappointed in the black players, if they took a stand against ZC's mismanagement that would be a PR disaster for ZC, however as long as only white players and standing up the race card can always be used. I know some black players were very close to joining the rebels 9 years ago but were pressured into sticking with ZC.

Was the other way round, Eugene. The rebels had a meagre case

Yeah they only complained about racism and mismanagement within ZC, the last 9 years have clearly shown none of that exists.
