Exactly right- the school system was, and to an extent STILL IS, the lifeblood of the national team. Guys got called up from St. John's, Peterhouse, St. George's and Churchill straight into the national team! It was big business.

There is enought to keep building but so many guys leave Zimbabwe after school to continue studies abroad that it's almost unfeasible.
