[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 817490, member: 40658"] And here is the problem that the outside world seems to look at. SARU didn't have 20 years to make some effort, in fact in the first 12 years of our Democracy, when Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki were president, there was an out and out discontent from our leaders in that the Quota system should not be used. And in that time SARU didn't implement quotas. SARU did however start with development structures to give all in SA a better chance in introducing rugby to rural areas and getting more people to play rugby from all walks of life. But when Mbeki had to step down, and was replaced by Kgalema Mothlante and then by Jacob Zuma, it all changed. The focus became more on race and less about merit. And when Fikile Mbalula was appointed as Sports Minister, the wheels started to turn. Remember that Mbalula was the ANC Youth League president, and was succeeded by Julius Malema, and they are both cut from the same cloth. They have hatred in them for the white community in SA. The ANCYL has always had that, and their spewing ignorant rants about the White Man has now been implemented at the highest levels of government. [/QUOTE]
