Cricket South Africa’s Social Justice and Nation Building hearings have been explosive to watch. More importantly, it has flung open a door that cricket in SA has tried to keep shut for far too long, writes ZaahierAdams. SJN SJNHearings IOLSport
Furthermore, it was the anti-tour protesters who brought the 1989 England rebel tour to SA to a halt and along with their continued support for SA sporting teams to remain in isolation that played a pivotal role in the eventual abolishment of apartheid.
The Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of “unity” means “the combining or joining of separate things or entities to form one”. I have always believed that the reality of “unity” in SA cricket was always the ex-Sacos SA Cricket Board joining the previously white-administered SA Cricket Union.It was never an equal merger due to the infrastructure and financial clout Sacu had.
I am not suggesting Newlands and the Wanderers be thrown down. Or that talented young cricketers’ not be afforded the opportunity to further their education at those fine institutions.
