CSA and Black players

CSA has appointed their lead independent board director and chairman of the transformation committee

Norman Arendse as convener of a task team to address the grievances voiced by

black African cricketers last year, following a meeting with sports minister, Fikile Mbalula,

in which it was made clear that the issue needed to be tackled as a matter of urgency.

Last November, a group of cricketers calling themselves Black Players in Unity wrote a letter to CSA

detailing their concerns at being picked in national squads but not playing enough games.

They were driven by the case of Khaya Zondo who travelled with the limited-overs squads to

India in October 2015 but did not play a single game.

The only mention of the issue arose when it emerged in January that Aaron Phangiso

a black African player, had been sanctioned for drunken behaviour on a flight in October.

well he was drunk on a flight

The incident was not made public or even shared with CSA's board !

with Haroon Lorgat confirming to The Times that he and Nenzani had chosen to :

"contain the matter …in view of the black African player issue that had surfaced at that time".

                         

Our AfroCentric poster Mapoui : ignore this thread ?

this is like cannon fodder !!


CSA claim not to have official national quotas but unofficially, it is recommended that

at least four players of colour take the field in every XI :

of which one is black African. 

Maps got stuck in the snow!!  ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

Brown is Amla and Tahir and Black is Rabada and Bavuma = 4  !!

Phangiso is in trouble again, this time for his graphic imitation of snorting a line of cocaine at the Wanderers.

After the incident CSA's CEO, Haroon Lorgat said: 'We understand that Aaron was sharing in a light hearted moment with his team-mates, but his action on television was inappropriate in the light of the drug problem that we are challenged with in South Africa.

'We have asked team management to highlight the responsibility all players have in being positive and inspirational role models to the youth of this country,' he added.
