Zim clinch series
Eddie Chikamhi Sports Reporter
ZIMBABWE secured an historic victory over South Africa with a crushing nine-wicket triumph, which sent shock waves around the cricket world yesterday, to secure the Pran AFL Twenty20 series before a noisy sellout crowd at Harare Sports Club.
It was Zimbabwe’s second win, in three matches against their neighbours in this series, and having only won just two One Day Internationals against South Africa prior to this tournament, Alan Butcher and his men matched that in just one successful week,
Although South Africa were without key players like Dale Steyn and Jacques Kallis, they still brought a very competitive team, led by Hashim Amla, and they were odds-on favourites, not only to win this series, but do so without breaking a lot of sweat.

Pay dispute threatens June exams
Herald Reporter
THE June 2012 public examinations are in danger as workers are threatening to strike over late payment of US$420 000 housing allowances by the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council.
Zimsec has yet to implement a court order to pay its 290 workers over US$420 000 in outstanding housing allowances dating back 12 months, although the council is owed US$1,9 million by the Treasury in what amounts to subsidies to keep examination fees affordable. Zimsec still has an appeal pending on the

Education, Sport, Arts and Culture Minister David Coltart is now involved in trying to resolve the dispute.
At the weekend he said he held a meeting with some of the board members last week as part of the measures to resolve the impasse.
