- All in all, despite the naysayers, great Olympics for #Zim Athletes all performed superbly, Kirsty elected to IOC & wonderful Marathon #
- Makorokoto to Cutbert and Wirimai for an absolutely outstanding Marathon performance which put #Zimbabwe firmly back on the Olympic map. #
- On my way home after the privilege of being with our superb London Olympic 2012 team. I am honoured to have been your Minister of Sport. #
- I have noted the constructive criticism of some regarding Zimbabwe's Olympic performance, and welcome it . Much work for Government and ZOC #
- #Zimbabwe needs to learn from Team GB – target money at medal potentials and build national support for and knowledge of all ahtletes. #
- Unless we make Sport a Government funding priority it will remain in the doldrums. Although corporate sector must help Govt must also fund. #
- We need to clean up the administration of sport as much money is wasted and there is too much politics in sport which frustrates our stars #
- We also need to target sporting disciplines we are good at and in which we have a comparative advantage over other nations. #
- Sport needs to become an integral part of our educational curriculum so that we identify and nurture sporting talent in schools. #
- We need to bridge the gap between school and clubs as much sporting talent is lost when children leave schools. Rugby is a prime example. #
- We need to start planning for Rio 2016 now; we have good marathon runners, rowers, Kirsty will produce more swimmers, and new sports eg golf #
- We need to plan a national strategy. Who is likely to win medals? Where are they? What do they need NOW? Who are the best coaches? #
- Also we need to think out the box – what new sports are there. We can be strong at golf and 7s rugby both of which will be sports in 2016. #
- I am told that we have a superb under 19 girls water polo side which will be competing in the Worlds in Aus in December; same squad in 2016? #
- We need to recognise that the #Olympics is a world stage which goes beyond sport – it markets an entire nation. It projects a nation + or -! #
- Interesting correlation between GDP and Olympic medals. Countries which spend money on sport, win medals and then get further investment. #
- Tragically for all the sporting talent in Africa there is a sporting crisis – not one African country came in the top 20 of the world. #
- All of Africa's medals combined do not exceed those won by some individual countries. Unacceptable situation – #Zim needs to take a lead #
- Thank you London and Britain for hosting the #Zimbabwe Olympic team so well. The British volunteers were outstanding – great credit to UK #
- Congratulations to Malcolm Lake for a great ton against India today in u19 World Cup. Good work by ex CBC lad Kyle Bowie for bowling tight. #

- Good resolutions out of Maputo by SADC including facilitator involvement in resolution of constitution difficulties. Hardliners wont like it #

- #Zimbabweans are everywhere! Pom @mmbangwa and Paul Harris, Plumtree and Harare boys respectively on#Supersport. Well done lads, great job! #
- Interesting debate on #Supersport re prevalence of South Africans in English cricket team. Some saying ICC rules wrong. Your views? #
