Robert Jnr’s national team call-up raises eyebrows

Former President Robert Mugabe’s son, Robert Junior’s latest call-up to the national basketball team has raised eyebrows, with claims that the South Africa-based player has not been involved in competitive action.

Robert Jnr (pictured), more known in the basketball circles as Tinotenda, was called up to the squad that will be participating in the All-Africa Basketball Championship regional qualifiers to be hosted by Zimbabwe between June 2 and 8.

He is set to join camp on May 27, with other members of the squad already in camp preparing for the regional qualifiers.
