Please accept my apology – Zakes' Sports Corner was wrong!
SEDIBENG.- There is a theory that rugby is a white sport for several reasons.
Zakes' Sports Corner is also guilty of thinking this.
Recently, I had the privilege to attend the SAPS Rugby National Championships here in the Vaal. Zakes' Sports Corner must confess; this was the first time I was tasked to cover a rugby event. Zakes' Sports Corner was also under the impression that rugby was a white sport until last week, when I attended the rugby national championships finals at the Isak Steyl Stadium.
Wow!
Zakes' Sports Corner was stunned by the atmosphere on and off the field, especially in the stands.
It is such a privilege to be an African, as the former President Thabo Mbeki at one stage told the world: 'I am an African'. Without any doubt, I must say this: I'm proud to be an African, or should I say South African. The singing on the stand was at another level, and Zakes' Sports Corner thought that vuvuzelas were only for soccer matches or something of the past, but I was wrong. I hope you will accept my apology for thinking that vuvuzelas and rugby don't mix.
Zakes' Sports Corner was stunned by the atmosphere on the stands, with spectators beating the drama, singing non-stop!
Zakes' Sports Corner even forgot that it was a rugby tournament!
Not only on the stand, on the field of play as well, the atmosphere was equally unbelievable – action galore.
Zakes' Sports Corner enjoyed every moment of action both on the stand and on the field.
This theory of thinking that rugby is a white community sport must be deleted from our thinking capacity.
We are better than that!
