Former Zimbabwe cricketer Henry Olonga came into Tearfund to discuss his protests back in 2003, his thoughts on the current situation and how important faith is to those dealing with an oppressive regime.
Thank you, Henry, for what you are doing to bring positive change to a hurting world. Today is the first time I had ever heard of you and I am blown away by your musical talent and gift and heart!!!
Dude, you're the man! I applaud your passion Henry and the actions you've taken to stand up for what you believe in. A lot of us could learn a thing or two from you. God Bless you, in all you do.
Man.. so damn sad. Whenever I hear the name Henry Olonga I kinda welt up and just feel such pain for the country, as well as for the man who sacrificed so much for what he believes in. A true hero, to many who will never know what he gave up. A superb cricket in his own right, I hope that he finds success and happiness in whatever it is that he's doing with his time these days. Henry, you're a legend mate, well done for being so strong.
Zimbabwe has a role model in this guy, a true patriot, composed and released a song about his country, defied a corrupt leader - more than once, is now living in exile and yet still perseveres. It'll be a good day when leadership in Zimbabwe reflects a similiar sense of morality
Henry Olonga, an extremely inspirational figure. Wishing Zimbabwe all the best for the future.
