They should not take the cup to Zim Robert and his frends will make sure it will never come out of Zim again and then they will sell it to some guys in Asia and with the proceedes they will buy more Mansions in Malaysia and open more Malls.
Not everything should be about Robert. Give the guy a break.
Zimbos are the ones who will benefit from the experience of seeing the cup and that is that.
Robert on the other hand will keep on being Robert nothing changes.
Zimbos will win this fight against tyrany and robbery both by bhobho and the other ones who think we are too dumb to see whats going on.
