Injured Nottingham Forest and Zimbabwe Warriors defender Tendayi Darikwa attended an anti-racism roadshow at the City Ground in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, England, yesterday.
The right-back, who is nursing a knee injury sustained during pre-season, attended the event which was held under the theme “Show Racism the Red Card.”
Darikwa’s participation at the event comes exactly a week after his Warriors teammate, Aston Villa’s Marvellous Nakamba, was a victim of racist chants from fans of his own club after an impresssive display against Norwich at Carrow Road.
Forest posted on their Twitter page thanking the defender for his participation.
💪 #NFFC are showing racism the red card!
The brilliant @SRTRC_England roadshow came to The City Ground this afternoon, educating local youngsters on showing respect through football.
Thank you to @TendayiDarikwa, @FrankClarkFC, @chris_iwelumo and Jason Lee for coming along! pic.twitter.com/mddfwtu919
