South Africa: Australia, racism – not cricket

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa

South African reports that Australia's racist hooligans are still on the rampage this time hurling abuse at the SA cricket team [1]….”The latest news coming out of Australia is that South Africa's cricketers were racially abused and called “kaffirs” and “kaffir boeties” during the first Test in Perth. This kind of behaviour is completely unnacceptable and should be dealt with severely by Cricket Australia. The current punishment of simply ejecting offenders from the ground, is insufficient and a mere slap on the wrist.” Interesting choice of words!
