Cosatu threatens to picket Boks v All Blacks Test
 
Cape Town - The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) is threatening to picket Saturday's Rugby Championship clash between South Africa and New Zealand in Cape Town. 
CLICK: To support South Africa's Rugby World Cup 2023 bid
According to a statement released by the organisation's Western Cape administration, Cosatu is fighting for Test match rugby to be televised on SABC.
As it stands, only those with DSTV subscriptions and access to SuperSport are able to watch Springbok matches live. 
Cosatu, in addition to wanting the matches free-to-air, want SuperSport pundits Naas Botha and Nick Mallett sacked. 
"National sports that must inspire the whole nation must be shown live on SABC, as it is a national sport of all the people," the statement read.
"This kind of discrimination will never be allowed in a national soccer match, as the government would step in to ensure it is available live for all citizens.
"This sport has been denied the majority of children in schools because of SARU's bad development programmes and the ministry allows them to get away with it. 
(Is SARU union responsible for this, or are the government? Are SARU given state budget to make this happen, if so how much? )
"The commentators like Naas Botha and Nick Mallett are outdated and should be replaced. Nick Mallett also has a habit of promoting white players and talking black players down, because he suits the Stellenbosch mafia’s agenda. Mallett should be removed for this racism and clear unbiased reporting of the game."
Cosatu then confirmed in another statement that they would be holding a meeting with SA Rugby in Cape Town on Thursday at 11:00 where they would be seeking answers in deciding on whether or not their protest would go ahead.

The one good idea is putting this on SABC for all viewers.The take on Nick Mallett and Naas is a joke. 

This is a good way for Cosatu to get some free advertising. Just wait until the biggest home match of the season- and announce it then.

 One has to admire the level to which sheer madness can descend.    These idiots would never fathom what keeps world professional sport is funded.    TV worldwide pay fortunes  to the sports bodies to get the rights to broadcast sports events.    The rest comes from sponsor events and get lots of TV adverts as a result.
Now lets look at SABC TV.   As a result of maladministration they are bankrupt and relies on Government funding,   So what contribution will they be able to cover the cost of screening the  matches?

Problem is that most of these clowns who are in govt are mostly there for their ow n pockets and interest. Much like some who have joined the ANC in the nineties for the sole purpose of protecting and furthering their careers in public service.

ex24-""Cosatu's claims that former Springbok coach Nick Mallett is racist and must be sacked from SuperSport are outrageous. 
Mallett is one of the most respected voices in world rugby and he has never given any indication in his analysis of the game that race has ever played a role in forming his opinions. 
To make that connection is unethical, irresponsible, childish and frankly pathetic. 
By going down that route, Cosatu has taken a very serious issue that should be a conversation among all of rugby's stakeholders and turned it into a joke. 
You can't just call somebody out for being racist without anything to back it up. 
It is disappointing because a lot of people would have been listening to what Cosatu was saying up until that point. """-----
In a modern society, someone could liable for defamation of character by making statements like that in the media. No proof was provided. Instead, it appears to be racism as it is a generalization.

 the sick minds of the BSTERS in evidence - the snake sh!t goes well with their standard lies and deception.
Now get it clear Snake sh!t - I do not comment on any threads started by you and on your lunatic remarks and you are not responding in kind.  
I commented on this thread before any of the two low life snakes came with your personal attacks - so why don't you regard me as a non-member in the same way I regard you two lousy low borne things.
