Who is sports minister to prescribe the causes for which people should kneel?
Sports minister Nathi Mthethwa is out of line in asking SA Rugby to make a pronouncement on the actions of eight SA players, who declined to kneel in support of the Black Lives Matter movement ahead of a match played in Britain at the weekend.There can be no innuendo inferred from their refusal to kneel, despite the minister’s concern. The BLM movement emerged after the death of George Floyd in America, at the hands of a policeman.
As a deeply adherent disciple of my particular religion, I kneel only to the Lord, and to no-one else. So, who is Mthethwa to prescribe the causes for which people should kneel? Rather, the minister should be concentrating on the mess his party, the ANC government, has created in this country during its 26 years of misrule.JOIN THE DISCUSSION: Send us an e-mail with your comments.
