Langalibalele EthanDube (born on 7th September, 1970) is an ex- Zimbabwean cricketer who played for Matabeleland during Zimbabwean national cricket. He was an right-arm fast bowler however, his career was ended due to back and knee injuries. After retiring, Dube moved into sports administration, and was director of the Matabeleland Cricket Association, as a selector for Zimbabwean national team, as well as an official member of the government’s Sports and Recreation Commission.

In the early part of 1994 Dube made his debut for Matabeleland during the 1993-94 season of the Logan Cup, which was the first edition that was awarded first-class status. Dube made a few more appearances in the subsequent couple of seasons. However, he he had no results, and never took more than two wickets during an innings. His final appearance as a first-class player was with Mashonaland Country Districts in the final of the 1995-96 Logan Cup. At that point Dube had stopped bowling completely and was now acting as an opener batsman. Dube and his opener, Graeme Ferreira, made eight runs in the game, but Matabeleland did win, taking home their very first Logan Cup title.
