Johan van Heerden, the CEO of Free State Cricket in Bloemfontein, has denied allegations of racism made by former Knights and Proteas leg-spinner Eddie Leie.
Leie left Johannesburg for Bloemfontein to join the Knights in the 2017/18 season in search of regular game time to enhance his chances of keeping his place in the Proteas national team.
The outspoken Leie mentioned a number of incidents where he said he felt he was discriminated against because he was black and targeted for his courage for speaking out against what he perceived as injustices. Leie said he was baffled at Castelyn's remarks as Whitehead apparently used to be the last to arrive for training and first to leave, and yet was deemed to be doing more work than them.
Leie said he even called EFF leader Julius Malema afters matters came to a head when he was left out of both the Knights and Free State teams. He said his omission was not based on performance.
