What we need for skin color to really not matter is more whites and indian quotas in bafana bafana..
The lobotomites in the media would say that kind of representation doesn't matter because apartheid.

Max du Preez , Herman Mashaba, and all lefty politicians, disagree.

Keet, Furman, Veldwijk and Cardoso off the top of my head.

There aren't many footballers of Indian descent playing football in SA. Even European leagues don't have many (if at all they're there). Even at schools closest to where I live, I see they play cricket and hockey. There are few that play recreationally of course.

Quotas are quotas though, so force a few.. we simply cannot have this inequality in national sports. Viva! Amanda!

Tsek, boks are a racist representation of apartheid, they even kept their apartheid name and way too many colonists in the team not representative of the demographics! Long live the bomb squad...

I forgot to mention Grobler...

I'm inclined to ask who in the current Bok squad doesn't deserve to be there. Who lacks the fine technical ability to be in the squad? Who are the in-form players that were left out in favour of these "quota" players?

Politicians in s.a will always force coaches to pick black players,they dont care about skill they just care about demographics, quotas will always be a problem in s.a sports.

I have no doubt bongi is a skilled player and one of the best but there are definitely some back line players selected purely to fill the quota.

I really don't get all the hate for Willie.

Bongi Mbonambi believes South Africa’s rapid rise under Rassie Erasmus from laughing stock to World Cup contenders is down to the coach’s willingness to pick players on form and not be swayed by loyalty or colour.
Yes, Bongi, and you are the only one who believes that... If it was not for colour, the No2 jersey would be worn by Marx and the 16 would belong to either Schalk Brits or Akker van der Merwe... On merit, your captain wouldn't even make the squad...
If it was not for loyalty, WP players like Etsebeth and de Allende wouldn't be in the team either...
