    Following on from Fikile Mbalula’s announcement that certain sporting codes would be banned from bidding for hosting major tournaments, rugby included, the ANC Youth League have promised to step up the pressure on the South African Rugby Union (SARU).

    Included in those promises are disrupting rugby games until transformation goals have been reached, and deterring teams from travelling by disrupting travel arrangements.

    IOL with this:

    ANCYL secretary-general Njabulo Nzuza said they want to see the “young talent that is in the townships playing in the Springbok team”.

    “We are saying the Springbok rugby team is not a holy cow for white supremacy, and we know that talent is out there.

    “The problem is they don’t have an appetite to go and search for that talent, and when that talent is recruited, it is sabotaged within the sporting codes.”

    Nzuza said they would go as far as buying tickets to games in order to disrupt them. “This is just a warning shot. We are going to continue until they have transformed. If it means we must go to rugby fields and disturb games, we will do that, to make sure they transform. If it means we must stop the team playing, we will go to the airport.

    “They must meet transformation quotas within the space of a year.”

    The handing over of a memorandum to SARU didn’t go off without any hitches, protesters and police clashing outside their offices:

    Good luck Allister Coetzee, if you can manage to succeed on both the results and transformation fronts you’ll leave the local rugby fraternity a pretty happy bunch.
