For the dimwitts that dont get it!!!!

The South African Rugby Union will on Monday get a better idea of the government's new 'adapt or die' transformation policy. Speaking at a general meeting of the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee recently Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula revealed that the minimum requirement for the number of blacks in teams have been increased to 60 percent. However, sporting codes - including rugby - were unsure as to what Mbalula meant when he said the requirement would come into effect "immediately". SARU hopes to get more clarity on the subject at a "report back meeting" on Monday - where the minister and the Eminent Persons Group, who has monitored national federations, will be present. While not too many fireworks are expected, it will at least clear up some questions. Among the questions raised since the recent SASCOC meeting and the minister's increased quotas, were whether the minister was insisting on 13 black players in Super rugby teams with immediate affect and the Springboks from June. There is also the practicality of such demands, if indeed that was what the minister meant when he spoke at the recent SASCOC meeting. Mbalula certainly pulled no punches at the meeting. "On March 25 we received the pilot study on the status of transformation in sport and the findings were shocking," he said in a statement published on the SASCOC website. "Little has been done to transform and the issue of grassroots transformation and participation of blacks is declining drastically. "We found poorly maintained infrastructure and a lack of willingness to transform despite the agreement as in the Sports Charter." The minister, Mbalula, also announced far-reaching measures to address transformation. He said they will "aggressively implement" the quota system as instructed in the National Sports Plan of 2011 in order to phase in equity in sport. "[We will] insist on a change from a 50-50 proportion to a 40-60 representation both provincial and nationally; as well as seek development plans from those five bodies [athletics, cricket, soccer, netball and rugby] that have been reviewed by the EPG." And Mbalula warned of harsh punishment if there was any form of resistance to these measures. "Any form of resistance and the government can: withdraw funding to bodies that fail to comply; withdraw national colours to federations holding back, rule that utilising bidding and hosting regulations to be illegal, de-register any body that fails to transform and bar sponsorship to anyone hostile to transformation." The minister said the resolutions of the recent meeting had to be implemented before the new government administration took office after the May 7 general elections. Strictly speaking it could mean that the government will prevent the Springboks from taking to the field against a World XV and Wales in June if there are not 13 black/non-white players in the team. The same quotas will apply to all other teams, although Monday's meeting could shed more light on when the minister expects these drastic changes to take place. It is feared an immediate implementation of the recommended quotas could destroy competitive sport in South Africa. The practicality of "immediate" implementation has also been called into question. It is hoped that Monday's meeting could shed some light on the matter. NOW DO YOU GET IT!!!,YOUR "BOK TEAM" WONT RESEMBLE ANY SORT OF IMAGE YOU GUYS HAVE OR ANY OF US HAVE!!!THIS IS SCANEDELOUSE BY THE ANC!!!BUT THEN AGAIN WHAT ARE WE TO EXSPECT FOR A GOVERNMENT JOKE LIKE THE ANC!?!?!?YOU CAN STOP THE FRANSIE VS GOOSEN DEBATE AND START WITH JANTJIES VS ROSE!!!!CAUSE THAT WILL BE YOUR BOK FLYHALF.

 Yes agree if this happens there must be world wide protests. See my post the wo rld must stand against this should it happen.

 It's payback time boys! They've got a couple of hundred years of bad memories to get over and that's going to take a long time. You may as well get used to it!

Payback Moolaa?

If by that you mean the ANC political elite raping Africa's largest economy for their own selfish gain or public education declining from what was once one of the best to now one of the worst in the world or an infrastructure going from Africa's best to scheduled regular power outages or police killing striking miners then I guess you're right on.

You need to understand that this posturing is nothing more than that for their own political benefit. There isn't a single righteous cell in Mbalula's body. You haven't met a lazy selfish person until you've met an ANC politician.

Mandela was a selfless leader who inspired a nation to love, forgiveness and reconciliation, but his own party missed the memo and tramples on his legacy

 I'm not saying they're going about it in the correct manner. Africa is littered with regimes that have been raped and pillaged by certain parties following the collapse of Colonial rule.

All I'm saying is it aint going to get any better in the short term!

On that, I am afraid we agree although the groundswell of discontent with the ANC seems to be starting at last to build.
