A Zimbabwean who played for South Africa

Enock Muchinjo of the Zimbabwe Independent catches up with Jackie Du Preez, who was one of the few Zimbabweans of his generation to play Test cricket, when he turned out for South Africa in 1967. Click here to read the interview.

What were your best moments representing South Africa?
Just to represent South Africa. They were the best Test side in the world. And earning Springbok colours alongside all those world-class players was a great achievement for me.

Who was the best Zimbabwean cricketer during your time?
As a bowler I would pick Joe Partridge, the great pace bowler. In the batting it’s Tony Pithey. It’s hard to pick any particular one player because there were a lot of fine players during our time.
