So the bomb dropped and minister of sport decided it's a good idea to ban SA Rugby, Cricket and Athletics to bid or host international highlight events due to lack of transformation.
Firstly, I agree with the whole transformation argument, but i disagree with it's execution as I do not believe you transform from the top, you fix it at school level and it will filter through to the top.
Secondly as a coach I speak first hand about the lack of commitment from black players when it comes to training for rugby, they all want to play, but none want to put in the effort and training required to play at a consistent top level.
And just as a foot note... this very same anc said to the world once... and i quote "Human beings should not be willing partners in perpetuating a system of racial discrimination. Sportsmen have a special duty in this regard in that they should be first to insist that merit, and merit alone, be the criterion for selecting teams for representative sport"
