It is not a secret The South African Rugby is not "united”, and by that I mean the not all SA demographics are well represented in the active team and I doubt if they will ever be (looking at the development rate of Rugby in places like Soweto)
If my memory serves me well, last week all South African where urged to support the Team, we all wore green and had braais around the country and on Saturday we watched the game in support of the Boks.
Come celebration time the very same supporters , who did not sleep on Saturday , who rushed to stores to buy the rugby jerseys and flags , who cheered when the team won the cup are excluded from the celebration or is it just Sowetans who are shunned??
Correct me if I am wrong …but when the Rugby team returned home the airport was packed with Sponsors and Supporters, green and yellow. My belief is that the celebration parade should serve as a "thank you" gesture to all Sponsors and Supporters, green and yellow.
I know what I am saying is not "politically correct" but my opinion is echoed by The Transformation and Anti-Racism Rugby Committee (TARC) as they said “the South African Rugby Union's decision to exclude Soweto from its victory parade is a monumental blunder."
I could not have said it better.
That’s my thought undiluted ……….

...amen to that sister!!! You know, it didnt represent a tru SA team, right from the beginning; none of our black brothers were included there...Soweto, my love, is too black for amabhokobhoko; as bad as it sounds, it is reality and we must just accept it... My worry is, few years down the line, our blacks will be included in the team and it will point to us each time a game is not a success...sad reality...
Clearly, Ags, Jack White doesn't understand that...'when Soweto catches a cold, the whole SA sneezes'...lol.
Oh, good news, I passed the ISEB certification, now I am a certified tester...lol.
I miss you but the blog makes it seem like I am next to you...
Keep blogging!!! Yes'o!!!
