Part two of our feature with former Zimbabwe cricketer Henry Olonga. After a public protest against Robert Mugabe’s regime during a 2003 World Cup match, Olonga felt he had no choice but to go into exile. On this week’s show we hear about the price he paid for his protest, and the story of how he found a safe passage out of Zimbabwe.
