Finance minister Mthuli Ncube was booed at the cricket world cup qualifiers by Zimbabwean supporters voicing their disgust over the country’s poorly run economy.
Mthuli Ncube was at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, where he watched Chevron’s 37 run win against the Netherlands.
Fans started booing, hurling insults and singing songs expressing their anger at him, as he presented winners’ medals.
The boos, insults and songs went right through the awards presentation, from the moment he stepped on the podium up until he stepped off.
A section of Queens Sports Club even broke into a popular Highlanders football club song, ‘Into oyenzayo siyayizonda’ (We hate what you are doing), usually sung when fans of the premier soccer league giant are not happy with how things would be standing.
Ncube has been fingered as one of the main culprits responsible for Zimbabwe’s waning economy.
