Beast's Bok career finished?

It's the right decision really. The ones who should be blamed are SARU and Beast's management for not sorting this out ages ago.

You are aware that the Department of Home Affairs is without a doubt the worst run ministry in this country? They could have applied a decade ago and still have no response.
 
to play for SA you should surely be a SA'n; not practically one. Commit yourself to the country.

I thought we were part of the SADC community? Since Zimbabwean has no national rugby team what should happen? Guess SA is an island... we can protect that Zimbabwean Mugabe but must cold should that Zimbabwean Mtawarira? Gotta love double standards of SA politics... Its not who you know, it's who your father knew, right?
 
and also does he meet all the criteria?

Well apparently not. He has not skills that would be considered in short supply. We have thousands of potential locks... of course this doesn't really apply in sport where sometimes natural talent trumps all.

Yip, lost my passport once and, well, I don't want to type the words that I think of when talking about their BS that happened to me.

Exactly.
 
I got my passport in 6 weeks.

Not sure why a massive rugby player cannot do the same. Shyte i am sure someone could even slip someone a backhander to get it done in 2 weeks :D.

tbf home affairs these days is a lot more jacked up. i've seen people get IDs and passports in next to no time.

Europe has a Eurozone. But that doesn't mean an Italian is Spanish

form their own

As far as I am aware the Beast enjoys all the benefits of his status in South Africa

i wasn't aware that mugabe had been given sa citizen privileges
 
Lats I heard he has already applied and no one knows why the application is being held up ....... just for those that wanna lay the blame on SARU and Beasts's management ;)

Nobody is wanting to blame anyone, i wish it would get sorted but it seems odd that he has not sorted it out. How long has he been here? Why have they allowed him to play but then suddenly wake up?

It's all very confusing if you ask me.

It's probably because the douche-bags at Home Affairs didn't realise he wasn't a citizen and/or the Department of Sport didn't know about their own regulations that they created themselves - unless of course this is a new regulation...
 
Whilst I am really sorry to hear the stance of the anc... oops! ... I mean the government, I suppose that we have to respect their laws. I am sincerely confused by their allowance for him to play 22 tests for South Africa, but now the rules have either been changed or suddenly enforced?

Enforcement is not big with government, except when it suits them :(

Just hope Beast sticks with us for a wee bit longer. We need quality like him.

I think you missed the entire general point. Tens of thousands of Zimbaweans here illegally committing crimes, robbing our economy and here is on Zimbabwean who is actually doing a great service for this country. Which of these two groups does the government focus on? Wait for it...
