Cricket South Africa has been convicted by the ‘Social Justice and Nation-Building (SJN) Commission’ for discriminating against players on the basis of race.
Obviously, this latest case will raise a voice of protest against South Africa in the cricket world as well as in the whole world. Commission Chief Dumisa N (Dumisa Ntsebeza) has given a 235-page final report ‘Cricket South Africa’ (CSA) administration.
Former cricket team captain and current director Graeme Smith, current head coach Mark Boucher and former batsman AB de Villiers have been found guilty of engaging in prejudicial conduct.
According to ‘ESPNcricinfo.com’, the commission has recommended the appointment of a permanent ombudsman in South Africa Cricket CSA to deal with complaints based on race and gender.
This very serious matter came to light when Mark Boucher and former South African cricket team spinner Paul Adams informed that Adams was given a racist nickname by fellow players. The ‘Social Justice and Nation-Building (SJN) Commission’ also expressed concern over the non-selection of Thami Tsolekile after Boucher retired from international cricket in 2012, calling it a racial slur. called discrimination.
Significantly, during the South Africa cricket team’s tour of India in 2015, AB de Villiers was also seriously accused of racial discrimination. Let us remind you that Khaya Zondo was also selected in South Africa’s ODI team during the tour of India 6 years ago.
But, in the India vs South Africa ODI 2015 played against India, Dean Elgar was given a chance. At that time also, there were allegations of racial discrimination against AB de Villiers. However, he denied such allegations.
