Faf comes out in support of BLM movement eNCA
In an impassioned and powerful statement released on Friday,
Du Plessis admits that after introspection he has a greater understanding after getting it wrong before.“I’ve remained silent, with the intent to listen, but not respond,” said Du Plessis. “Slowing down my point of view, but quicker to hear the pain of someone else. I knew that words would be lacking and that my understanding is not close to where it needs to be.
“I surrender my opinions and take the knee as an intercessor. I acknowledge that South Africa is still hugely divided by racism and it is my personal responsibility to do my best to empathise, hear the stories, learn and then be part of the solution with my thoughts, words and actions.”
