Just over 30 former #Proteas players and coaches came out in support of @NgidiLungi #BLM and against any form of SYSTEMIC RACISM. Since then, the phone has literally been going off the hook, with all sorts of journalists wanting to know, “so tell us what happened to you?” It’s as if people are expecting everyone to come out and say, I was called a ...... by this one and a ..... by so and so.( which has happened from time to time ) The issue really is that yes, while that hurts and is really not cool, it doesn’t “ROB ONE OF OPPORTUNITIES” in LIFE.

The system is broken and has been for some time in our beloved SA, both in society and in sport. We return from isolation and we say to the world, “look at us, we’re back, oh by the way, there’s still no black people who can play the game, but we brought a few along” Just to come see though, not partake. BECAUSE WE’RE THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW, how it’s played, coached, managed, governed, broadcast, how to strategize, Captain etc etc. And if we’re the only ones who know how to do these things, guess what! We secure all the OPPORTUNITIES!
