She has direct Dutch ancestry, allowing her to apply for naturalization.

Why wouldn't she move and compete for the Dutch?

They will treat her with respect and dignity and support her career 100%, financially and otherwise.

Which is the direct opposite of what SASCOC has been doing.

Not to mention that instead of her having to pay her own way to compete, she might actually be able to make a living as a professional swimmer. She has done South Africa proud under our colours, SA swimming have tried to screw her over at every turn, the Dutch team will definitely appreciate her.

Exactly.

Race is a useful cover for Marxists of all stripes.

Not so say racism doesn't exist. Course it does. But by protecting individual rights, in a system that respects equality before the law, it is rendered ineffective as a socio-economic threat.

If you really are interested in problematic racism, you go instantly to those who align ideologically with Thomas Malthus. Pre-occupied by population numbers.

And where do you find most of these guys 'n gals? At the top of the public-private-partnership(PPP) class.

Agreed, 100% - However, just so we keep the record accurate - she isnt planning to move to the Netherlands at this point - South Africa will still be home, and she will continue most of her training here. She will attend training camps with the dutch national squad and so on.

In anycase, many of the dutch squads training camps are hosted here, especially during their winter. They are normally based in Stellenbosch for overwinter training from November to February each year, training at Coetzenburg, along with lots of other european nations teams.

Yesterday when I was at the gym, there were national team athletes from Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands and Germany busy training there.

Speaking of accurate records. Half a mil Saffers voted for Gaytoon. Zero Saffers voted for Tjatjana

Was she standing for political office? I must have missed that. Otherwise, what is the relevance? Millions of South Africans vote for criminals and help keep our inept and corrupt government in place every election cycle. When you really work this backwards, this is actaully why Tatjana ended up in this position in the first place. If we didnt keep electing crooks and ineptocrats, the drama at SSA would never have happened, and our ministry of sport would have had funds availalble to support our athletes, instead of supporting Gayton and his buddies international holidays.

At least now we have established where the blame really lies

Now are you dumbass voters offering to pay for Tjajana or not?

Bottom line here: black people cannot swim, so the white girl's success irked the cadres.

If there was black woman with Tatjana's abilities, and achievements, they would do exactly the same thing.... as long as she insisted on being independent of the administrator's control-freakery.

Absolutely no doubt about it.
