More than 30 former Proteas cricketers and five senior coaches have applauded Lungi Ngidi for calling on the current Proteas team to take a stand against racism.
JOHANNESBURG - Thirty-one former Proteas cricketers and five senior coaches have thrown their weight behind current bowler, Lungi Ngidi, and the global #BlackLivesMatter movement.
The group said, “We commend Lungi Ngidi for supporting #BlackLivesMatter – and we’d like to add our support for it too. We note the criticism aimed at Lungi for expressing his views – and we hope that Cricket South Africa , together with fellow cricketers – both present and past – will come out strongly in support of #BLM”.
“We see this as an opportunity for CSA to be unequivocal about its position and to make sure the problem is confronted, and we also invite our fellow white cricketers to join in this move to defend human dignity. We represent, or have represented, South Africa on merit.” "But guess what? South African rugby won a World Cup last year. We cannot recall anyone suggesting that the victory was due to transformation. Why is transformation always rammed down the throats of national teams when they lose, but never when they win? Can there be equal treatment, please?”.
