In a statement confirming Dube’s appointment yesterday Coltart said: “I am pleased to announce the appointment of the ninth and final member of the Sports and Recreation Commission Board, Mr Ethan Dube, following approval having been received today from His Excellency the President RG Mugabe.
“His term of office will run from the 8th February 2013 to the 5th February 2016. Dube has represented Zimbabwe at both Hockey and Cricket and was a National Zimbabwe Cricket selector in 2004 and 2005,” Coltart said.
