The laugh’s on Lardy
21 Apr 2006
The international imposter who screamed racism when the Stormers showed him the door has been kicked into touch by English club Gloucester.
Muppits on Keo.co.za (where else would they be you are probably asking) alerted the site to the small business of Quinton Davids being booted after just one season with the English Premiership side.
Davids, who milked the quota system for every drop in Cape Town, was sent on his way a year ago because he was not good enough as a player. But the player accused the Stormers management of being racist. He said the new environment would give him an opportunity not available in Cape Town. The claim and accusation was laughable and now we have seen Davids’s worth. He has been booted after just six first team appearances in 12 months!
Sportinglife.com reported that Gloucester would not take up the option to retain Davids.
In a patronising club release Director of Rugby Dean Ryan said: “I would like to thank him for his contribution to Gloucester this season and for the effort and dedication he gave the team that played in the Guinness A League. He was fundamental in their efforts in a highly successful campaign.”
To compound the embarrassment for Lardy Davids, he played second fiddle to three club locks this season, who are not international players.

Katsesnor, please , “Human rights centred constitutions are placed above religious texts.” What is that if not a religious dig at secular humanism? I am a reborn Christian but, as for Kenneth, not even the racist comments on this site raise my ire as much as that gentleman, so, yes, maybe we should just leave it; and as for me, I’ll quietly get on with reaching out to folk on the margins of society who Kenneth will NEVER reach. Shoo, blood pressure moment there. Let’s just leave it. Shalom.

the racist verkramptes can’t deal with the fact that QD exposed GEO as a racist.
21 Apr 2006, 19:52 pm
Wilfred, the “racist verkramptes” are irrelevenat in South Africa 2006. Let them vent their anger over their political impotence on this site. What does it really matter at the end of the day? Nothing.

You tal about a democraticalle elected government. What a joke. Our rights were negotiated away at Kempton Park. The ANC made too many concessions. Like your beloved Stem. It sickens me that a wonderful hymn like NkosiSikeleli iAfrika is being degraded by die stem. You know the so called democratically elected government is not in power in this country. They are a joke. But mark my words the revolution will come. The masses will not be prepared to wait forever.

the Revolution is already here…and as a result South Africa is well on it’s way to joining the rest of the rubbish heap that is Africa….
21 Apr 2006, 21:20 pm
besides who cares about GEO ‘the bearded venom’that he is…..he’s also useless to mankind …..we only care about people performing for the money they are paid ….and that’s across the board, not just rugby…

capeflatsboy the communist. Geez but you are a complex individual. Didn’t you do the MBA? Isn’t that too capitalistic?
The revolution … man are you in for a dissappointment. Do you think that “joke of a government” as you describe it is fast asleep and not aware of what’s going on on the ground? Do you think it will be a one sided afair? Have you dug your tunnels already? Tip: Cape Flats sand doesn’t make for good tunnels.
You should move to Zim. You probably already have Mugabe on your wall. Shame man.
Fact is capeflatsboy, even China is moving on and embracing capitalism my china. And those days when the rest of the world cared about the poor South African masses are over. You either play by the rules (democracy, good governance, etc) or you get isolated and starve to death. Go ask your buddy Mugabe.
Some people are utterly stuck in the past. But at least your true colours are evident now. As I said before racists come in all colours.

you welcome to leave our beloved country.
i am not an A.N.C supporter ,but have to take my hat off for a job welldone.
21 Apr 2006, 21:54 pm
Who said anything about leaving Winifred…in fact I will stick around just to piss you off…if that’s a job well done then you have NO expectations and fit in very well.
21 Apr 2006, 22:30 pm
Katsesnor, China does not “play by the rules” (what with communism, questionable governance, over-valued currency, etc.) yet that country is prospering. Why? Because “money goes where money grows”. Finish and klaar!

CouchRugga, when the ANC took over, this country was busy de-industrialising due to the mismanagement (import substitution) and racial capitalism of the Nationalists. The ANC, on the other hand, risked a potential popular insurrection when they adopted GEAR, a self-inflicted structural adjustment policy, in order to stabilise the economy and ready it for growth. All for the good of capitalism and neo-liberalism.
Now, on crime. As we all know, the Nationalists created the conditions for crime when they forcibly removed people into the hopeless slums that are Manenberg, Bonteheuwel, etc. To solve the problem, would you support the “right of return” of these families to Higgovale, Camps Bay, Tamboerskloof, Vredehoek, etc., to be financed by a once-off wealth tax? I doubt it.

over-valued should be under-valued currency
21 Apr 2006, 23:05 pm
Consider this:
The Stormers dropped Andrews and suddenly they won, albeit against the lowly Reds
Both Paulse and Davids lasted only few rugby games in Europe and then were blown out, what does it mean?

Onlooker, are you 12? You seem to reason like a child.

BTW, Katsesnor, in his book, “A History of Inequality of SA: 1652-2002″, Prof Sampie Terreblanche of Maties supports CapneFlatsBoys’ thesis (post 204). Well, if not in his book, I certainly heard him say it at a Harold Wolpe lecture, in a debate with Dr Rob Davies.
21 Apr 2006, 23:23 pm
Terreblanche, Sampie (2003), “A History of Inequality in South Africa: 1652-2002″, University of Kwazulu-Natal Press.
Synopsis
“This work is an anlaysis of economic relations in South Africa. It analyses the work of numerous historians on inequality and exploitation in South Africa around a single theme: the systematic and progressive economic exploitation of indigenous people by settler groups. Second, the author argues that, despite South Africa’s transition to democracy, its society is as unequal – if not more so – than before. He claims that in the early 1990s, parallel to the constitutional negotations, a series of informal negotations and interchanges took place behind the scenes during which the local corporate sector, backed by powerful international financial institutions, made a concerted effort to “sell” unfettered capitalism to ANC leaders. This attempt succeeded, resulting in the ANC replacing the RDP with GEAR. The situation of the vast majority of blacks has in fact worsened since the transition to democracy. For this reason, he considers that South Africa’s transformation is incomplete. Sampie Terreblanche criticizes the corporate sector for its ruthless pursuit and protection of its own interests, to the detriment of broader South African society. He also criticizes the “new black elite” for its materialism and apparent indifference to the plight of the poor. In a final chapter, he argues that the current system of “neo-liberal democratic capitalism” is inappropriate to a developing country such as South Africa. He calls for a policy shift towards social democracy in which the state should play a more active role in alleviating poverty, redistributing wealth, and attending to social welfare.”

Mr Manuel has slowly been making ths shift as evidenced by the plaudits he received from the progressive media for this year’s budget
22 Apr 2006, 00:00 am
Exactly Mascot. Then the government is aware of the problem and doing something about it – in a somewhat slow but responsible manner. Changes – as required in a very unbalanced SA – cannot be done in haste to address the unrealistic expectations of the undereducated unemployed masses. Originally the ANC also thought an “explosive” revolution will bring about the wished changes but they quickly realised it will only cause much more harm than good to go to fast. So they changed gears (GEAR). It’s was the correct approach. The same western democracies that supported the ANC during apartheid would not approve the type of revolution the ANC had in mind originally – and for the ANC to do so at the time would thus have been international political and economical suicide. What SA has thus achieved is a miracle. That corporations/banks would have done their bit to get the new ANC government on their side is understandable – and in the end probably to the countries long term benefit. No revolution – as supported by capeflatsboy – will solve anything Mascot. It wil destroy SA and leave everybody as loosers. No country can have such revolutions and be prosperous.
Then I want to ask you this (no debate intended please) … with so many Christians in SA (like yourself) will God allow his sheep to be slaughtered by a mindless mass of revolutionaries? Don’t you think God allows things to be as they are at present – moving at the pace it is? And then this … did not ***** say his father will take care of those who puts his kingdom first (Mt 6)? So Mascot the answer then should be … poverty is only solved by putting God’s kingdom first. No world government will EVER succeed in doing so as long as they shun God. No revolution like capeflatsboy is suggesting will ever bring true lasting equality and prosperity.

Katsesnor, you are assuming that CapeFlatsBoy is calling for a socialist revolution. What I hear him saying is that, if the ANC does not attend to the needs of the poor, they wil not be able to prevent a popular uprising by an increasingly impatient populace. Many people, on the left and centre-right, have said this.
Like African-Americans during slavery and the civil rights movement, black Christinas in South Africa never ceased calling upon G-d for their freedom. What amazes me, is that people on this site do not grasp that G-d is not mocked – they expect to get off scot-free from their forefathers’ sins even though they have not asked for forgiveness.
22 Apr 2006, 00:21 am
Then again, Katsnesnor, yes, we can “stand in the gap” and ask for forgiveness on each others’ behalf and potentially rescue this country through prayer. But, that will require G-d’s love in my heart, because I cannot do it in my own strength. I am too scarred by my past and therefore sometimes too easily offended.
22 Apr 2006, 00:23 am
And with that, Katsesnor, I’m signing out. You’re welcome to mail me at: havtacha1@yahoo.com “Havtacha” is hebrew for “promise” Shalom. Salaam.

I suppose the main point of this whole issue is the “Quota” players DON’T pick themselves in the team. It is UNFAIR to label them “FRAUDS” because the coaches pick “POOR QUALITY” players. I have played top flight club rugby, but consider myself merely an average club player, but if I had to be picked to play for a Super 14 team, by golly I would take the chance! Who wouldn’t? I mean if I get presented opportunities I take them, wouldn’t I look the fool saying “No Thanks”????????????? Some players play better whan in better company, some don’t, you will never know who these are unless you give them a shot – sure the quota system gave preference to certain players, but THEY DIDN’T INVENT THE QUOTA SYSTEM – NOR DID THEY PICK THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!
22 Apr 2006, 17:33 pm
Mascot can you explain the mess in Israel and the inequality afforded the Palestinians….you are a hypocrite….all for the underpriveleged in SA while the poor Palestinians get beaten into submission & without a land which is rightfully theirs. Tool!
22 Apr 2006, 20:21 pm
CouchRugga, what are you on about? Oh, I see, all Jews are right-wing Zionists and, to be consistent, all Muslims are Jihadists. And Jews, especially, don’t deserve friends or people who appreciate their culture or recognise the Jewish heritage of Christianity or that ***** was Jewish. You obviously cannot hold up a debate based on well-constructed arguments so you resort to baseless, abusive attacks. So, I am a Jew-loving *******, which also makes me a Zionist. Shame. Go and educate yourself by reading http://www.zmag.org or http://www.commondreams.org and, as soon as you can spell Noam Chomsky, Edward Said or Amos Oz, you can make another attempt at an informed opinion.
22 Apr 2006, 20:31 pm
And for all you foreigners out there who support anything to do with white South African culture, like Springbok rugby, for instance, beware! According to CouchRugga’s logic, you have unwittingly (or even consciously by his/her logic) aligned yourself with the people who, through apartheid, perpetrated one of the greatest crimes against humanity. They don’t deserve friends, they don’t deserve forgiveness and they don’t deserve understanding. For an exposition of the implicit logic, contact CouchRugga.
23 Apr 2006, 02:57 am
Mascot your waffling on amounts to nothing….why so defensive?
Maybe you just look really silly bashing white South Africans and then being exposed for double standards in your closet support of Israel’s under hand tactics. The whole problem facing the Middle East is very connected to Israel’s gross discrimination against the Palesitinians……you are the last person that should be lecturing us on this site.
