Pick all the Admistrators and those who so eagerly fill their pockets and enter them as our first choice team in the tri-nations. I am sure after they have been run over by the All Blacks and wallabies and in time to come by the Pumas,they will all join Manto in a private hospital to have their bruised egos and bodies attended to. During their absence the rest of us will get along with the game,profusely apologise to our opponents put our best team with no interference on the park and play the game as it should be played. The same tactic should be applied to cricket.soccer etc. A good bouncer might just clear way all the cobwebs and result in clearer thinking! There is of course an easy solution to our problems.

Get hold of Cosatu and ask them to find us their best guys dealing with poor and underpriveleged to start distributing the cash immediately in buying balls, bats, etc etc We get teachers and coaches to train youngsters. We use money to form leagues in the poorer areas. We flight TV adds showing kids how great players emerged from the streets and the beaches of the world. We ban any trips by sports administrators - take way their credit cards and make it an unpaid job. We confirm that politicians can only open their mouths when they have been to watch at least 20 games in the poorest areas. We need 20 signed letters from the referees of those games. The list is endless but there are billions to play with. Get the kids playing and send the politicians and administrators to Helmand Province.

I have lived in SA for 3 years. I love you guys, but i have never met a nation bigger on talk, and smaller on action. You can change anything you want..... so why don't you (we) actually do something. What do you suggest we actually do Traps?

As a white person too I know only too well how selfish one looks screaming racism now that the roles have been reversed. I have heard similar opinions voiced by black people but we need to hear more of them - then they will be taken seriously. Traps I agree with what you say but unfortunately you are a white man.
