Dear Editor,
SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) president Moss Mashishi's statement on accountability to parliament is "reckless" and "arrogant", according to the ANC.
Once again we see the ANC defending it's actions irrespective of whether they are blatant racism or not.
It's not like this is the first time Komphela has made racist remarks. If anyone is "reckless" and "arrogant" it is Komphela, yet the ANC jump to his defence? I wonder what this tells us?
As for Komphela's rantings and ravings about quotas - for goodness sake man, do you really think any coach is going to overlook any player who deserves a place in a team? But that should apply whether they are black or white.
I also wonder why, when "calculating" representation the likes of Komphela take the entire population into account and not just for example, the rugby playing population when deciding on "quotas" for the Springbok team?
Please ANC, you have a huge responsibility to make this into a great country. By wasting time and effort on issues that will logically sort themselves out with time (as more and more excellent black sportsmen and women come to the fore) you are taking your eye off the critical things like crime and yes, racial harmony!
Nick,
Randburg
