  • Good luck for Chris Felgate running in the #Olympic triathlon tomorrow. Zimbabwe is right behind you Chris and we will be there alongside #
  • I am very disappointed by the negative reporting of our Olympic campaign by Collin Matiza of the Herald. Have not seen him at a single event #
  • I question why we pay a vast amount of money for a journalist to come to London for him to spend his time inappropriately trashing team Zim #
  • The editorial in the Sunday News yesterday was also outrageous – I question what ZimPapers is up to. Are they acting in best Zim interests? #
  • When I look at the superb performances of all our athletes and administrators I think they deserve better than this. #
  • Zimpapers have ignored amazing talent of our young rowers, Kirsty's heroic and stunning swims and Sharon's courage – all have done Zim proud #
  • I have been to every event that Zimbabwe athletes have performed in but have yet to see Herald journalist Collin Matiza at one. Where is he? #
  • Congratulations to Chris Felgate in the Olympic Triathlon today – he came 52nd; for our little country and its limited resources 52 is great #

  • Five Firsts: Henry Olonga http://t.co/8QWv2Yxm via @espncricinfo A bit of wisdom from another Zimbabwean sporting hero #
  • "Coltart offiside" – pathetic editorial from the Herald seeking to introduce race to my critique of their O coverage – http://t.co/mb4hRoXi #
  • Irony of Herald ed is that my primary concern was their failure to relate the great sacrifices made by athletes especially Sharon Tavengwa #
  • The introduction of race often a convenient diversion for those who have been found wanting. Pull up your socks The Herald; time for truth #
