[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 927291, member: 40658"] Very good opinion article that. And he's basically emphasising what the twitterverse is not seeing from Kolisi's statement. I think most people overlooked what Kolisi said in totality, because he used Madiba as a comparison, and most people will get offended if someone say that Madiba would be against something to improve the lives of black people, which he fought so hard for. The thing is that Quotas or Transformation should not be done at the highest level, but rather at the lowest. It's the only way to ensure more black players get to the highest level, which will then stop the whole debate of being picked on colour instead of merit. It's interesting because Rassie has been given a mandate, and he's trying to stick to it, but may not do it right every match, and for the first ever Black captain to say these things, does point out that the Rugby fraternity doesn't want the quotas, only the politicians. And based on the Sport Committee Chair's response yesterday: [URL]https://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Springboks/kolisis-quota-comments-unfortunate-sport-committee-chair-20190109[/URL] It just shows that the politicians doesn't care at all about performance.
