[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 868505, member: 40658"] Man, have you been reading the local news reports recently? Do you even know what is currently happening in SA?? Are you aware that we have a new Sports Minister? Are you aware that Afriforum has approached the IOC, the UN and other Sporting Bodies regarding the quota system? They even have an online petition where people can sign to add their name to the list. The only reason why this issue isn't making so much noise in our political sphere, is because of the bigger fights going on and the whole Gupta and our President issues, and state capture. If you have been reading local papers, you would also notice, that the ANC is driving the idea of Radical Transformation. Now part of this plan will be a direct affect on the Sports codes and employment. Our new sports minister has been backing SARU to host the 2023 World Cup, and due to recent remarks by members of parliament, the issue of the quota system has been put on the backburner. But we all know that at some stage, this will become an issue, unless there is an official statement from government to abolish these plans. I think if you look at the latest Springbok Squad, you will find that the Squad consists of the minimum requirements prescribed. Even in regards with traditional African cultured players. The big question you need to look is why are teams only selecting the minimum amount prescribed, and why are they hardly ever having fielding teams with more than what is prescribed??? [/QUOTE]
