Henry Olonga is a world-class cricketer who played for Zimbabwe in three World Cups. He was the youngest player ever to represent his country, and the first black player in the national squad.
At the 2003 World Cup, he made international headlines when he wore a black armband as a protest, mourning what he called ‘the death of democracy’ under Robert Mugabe. That courageous act cost him his career – and his homeland.
Join Henry in conversation with Chris Green as he shares the remarkable story of his sporting achievements, the deep Christian faith that inspired his protest, and the extraordinary journey that led him to become a professional classical singer. He’ll also perform during the evening.
