@W.P-649: said like a true South African. Isn’t that what Mandela stood for and universally acknowledged as a great leader by every shade in the rainbow. ET is a little **** with a chip on the shoulder and a braincell of wood.

It will be interesting to see how the Argies go against AB’s and Wallas as a measure of Bok performance.

I would now like to see the Rugby Championship expanded to include a combined Pacific Island side. the Super compo would need to be shortened. Perhaps each country plays their own teams to provide a top two, and then the top two of each country go into a championship cup style playoff. this will reduce teh time for Super, and allow for a five side SH Rugy Championship.

Fok man. Let’s leave the politics out of the thread. I was born in 1975 in District Six. My early years were littered with memories of uprising in Mitchell’s Plain where I stayed. I played schools cricket and made the WP Schools team in 1993 and then WP B team in 1995.

I felt nothing but pride to be selected for those teams. My early cricketing heroes were Peter Kirsten and Adrian Kuiper. I idolised those guys at the height of Apartheid and I still do………..just like I do Philander and Hash today. I knew of the difficulties at the time but I made peace with it and channeled my energies into the sport I loved and to an extent it paid off.

I am Protea and Bok through and through and I get goosebumps everytime the national anthem is sung! We need to move on guys. This team out there today contained five players of colour. That’s half the team. Be proud.

@wnbb-618: Not true. The Proteas began then, but the caps issued when the SA players were called the Springboks are recognised throughout the cricketing world. The stats are in the record books and every country that played against SA records those tests as caps in their records too.The Proteas are only one incarnation of SA's national cricket team.

@Neilanate-645: "Pinkies" eh? I take it you are a goeffel. Why do some goeffel have the biggest chips on their shoulders about race? Not black enough, not "pink" enough eh?

And Apartheid had nothing to do with “greed” and “flouting of the rules” and “poor administrative policing by government and out of control power-obsessed” Afrikaners and pinkies in general? You can only fool a black minstrel like ……. (fill in your blank he was here often today)

God bless you poor ‘verkrampte’ pinkies! You better not believe in heaven or hell.

None so blind as those who do not want to see and a handful played “Commie Capitalists” here today?
Only in the pale mind!

@TASSIES-636: Plus he waffled on at them about how much of the mine's wealth was enriching people in Britain, forgetting to mention that he himself had just jetted in from the very same Britain where he was "meeting businessmen". He really does a very bad job at pretending to be a socialist.

@katman-637: ja, well that muti man better get running because i think he may get lynched.

@rangerman-635: There is always a disclaimer afterwards that anyone who gets shot despite the muti must have done something sufficiently bad to nullify the magic. These statements were made on Thursday. Along with more craziness about how bad the numbers would have been had it not been for the strong muti. Just sad.

@katman-632: not forgetting our little bundle of joy Julius, popping up to find a lens to advance his profile. I think it was he who, after a breakie of double Jonnie Blacks, encouraged 'his' miners to a miserable death on behalf of his cause, in the name of theirs. Nice one JuJu. Our president in waiting.

@TASSIES-631: its like reading the ramblings of a pair of farmhands who want to run the JSE. it would be funny if it wasnt so pathetic. @katman-632: what i dont get about the whole muti thing is that poor suckers have been getting gunned down whilst "protected" to the hilt for centuries. hell, it isnt restricted to race or region even, from American Indians to bloodthirsty scots, its a common thread of ignorance. really puzzling until you realise that the people believing in it havent really had access to all the case studies (punctuated by bodies littering a field somewhere) that have pointed to the failures of this approach to charging at modern weaponry.
