25/08/10 Don’t miss a very exclusive interview with Henry Olonga today on Féile FM

Henry's Autobiography

Henry Olonga, Zimbabwe’s first ever-black cricketer, will be live in the studio today talking about his newly released autobiography ‘Blood Sweat & Treason’. This interview will begin around 2.00pm!

On the book: Sports book meets real-life thriller, his sensational autobiography tells the story of the former Zimbabwean cricketer whose black armband protest against Robert Mugabe at the 2003 World Cup saw him branded a traitor, accused of treason and forced to flee his homeland and his family. The book tells the story of Olonga’s childhood, of his gradual realisation that he was living in a country ruled by a dictator, of his battle to reach the top as a black cricketer and, ultimately, how he sacrificed that position to do something that he hoped would make a difference. Henry Olonga put his life at risk, but he got the chance to make a new life in England. [Buy Book on Amazon]
