	Henry Olonga goes into exile
		Olonga's last few hours as an international cricketer were spent nervously, lest there was a tap on his shoulder that could have threatened his life.
		Olonga appeared on the field to perform 12th man duties early in the afternoon to create the impression that everything was normal.
		Olonga, along with Andy Flower, wore fl armbands in their opening match of the tournament and issued a joint statement mourning the death of democracy in Zimbabwe, a gesture that earned worldwide praise and also the wrath of the Robert Mugabe regime.

		When the ICC stood its ground, Henry Olonga must have realised this was his golden opportunity to kickstart his career.
		But coming from Olonga, this sounded hypocritical, unless one accepts that people are allowed to become turncoats just like Jonathan Moyo turned around from one of president Robert Mugabe's critics to his staunchest supporter.
		Olonga, an aspiring musician, produced what most people thought had become Zimbabwe's national anthem, a song - Our Zimbabwe- that, like the national anthem was sung in all three national languages and was played more often than the national anthem on the country's television and radio stations.

		Henry went to Plumtree High, spent years pupping around the white teachers within his school, ask him who his fl teachers were, I will be shocked if he remembers, mastered the Mrs Westwood smile which is more of a grin and literaly knows nothing about Zim or its people.
		Olonga had every right as a Zimbabwean to air his views and grievances because he was a citizen of Zimbabwe.
		It is regrettable that Olonga has not had a chance to acclamatise with the political history of Zimbabwe,yet again even if he is Kenyan, he deserves the same element of shame because all African countries suffered servitude and hence share the same historical imbalances.
