Henry will tell his story about cricket, making a stand against Robert Mugabe, as well as sing and play. He will also tell us about his faith in Jesus.

Henry OlongaHenry was the first black Zimbabwean test cricketer and at the time the youngest ever to play for that country. His black arm band protest at a Cricket World Cup match in 2003, against the policies of his government, led to the issue of a warrant for his arrest on charges of treason. This carries the death penalty in Zimbabwe As a consequence he was forced to retire from international cricket.
