[QUOTE="User1245, post: 873221, member: 40986"] As sad as the general state of South Africa is the elephant in the room is that the thiefing, corruption and backward politics can changed with people's votes. As backward as SA is sometimes its elections are mostly free and fair. The international community can't and shouldn't do anything about that. The DA is growing and certainly not because of the whites. The white population in SA is the only ethnic group that is getting smaller and I've found whites to be some of the most apathetic voters in the country. Many seem to have better things to do with the "I won't make a difference" attitude. Obviously a generalisation but I've found that to be true in my experiences. My contribution in this debate will be voting in the next elections from Australia. However, when it comes to rugby I firmly believe that the racist ANCs philosophies should not dictate the teams composition in any way. It is simply not the point of sport and is in direct violation to the rugby world body's laws and I will continue to raise this until it changes because this is in the power of the international community to change. Further to this I think it's not a good reflection that the rugby community continues to let it slide. We like to harp on about rugby's traditions and ethos but let a power house in the game to be continually crippled. Doesn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
