The Ashwin Willemse argument highlights what is intellectually dishonest with quotas.
Regardless of whether they are good or bad legal or illegal. (Bad and illegal in my opinion) don't insult my intelligence by imposing a quota and then claiming all the POC selected are there on merit. As this can't be true otherwise there wouldn't be a quota.
For example if there was a netball team in my area and it was stated that at least one had to me male. I am the only male amongst 6 female international players. I am picked because I am male having never picked up a netball in my life. It would be very disingenuous of my to claim I was picked on merit.
Also I don't approve of the RSA minister for sports comments. It is beginning to turn into a witch hunt reminiscent of the "metoo" mess, why bother with Courts or investigations. If someone is accused of racism just lock em up without trial. If someone is accused of rape. Just lock em up with trial. Who cares if they are guilty or not. As long as we feel good.
