Like most South Africans, I am passionate about Springbok Rugby.
Our rugby is being ruined by the current ANC political party and the South African Rugby Union (SARU).
They, the ANC, issued a mandate to SARU, some time ago, that the colour of players, in the Springbok team, must be representative according to the SA race percentages in South Africa. Other countries chooses their national team on players` ability and quailty.
The time has come to end the racist demands on our players, coaches and selectors.
True South African rugby supporters, of all races, unite and support this petition.


WE DO NOT WANT RACE QUOTAS IN SOUTH AFRICAN SPORT


We also also call upon the likes of the World Rugby and the International Olympic Comittee (IOC), to step in. These two bodies were instrumental and very vocal when South Africa was seen to favour a certain race in days gone by.
Please share this petition with everyone you know - for the sake of South African Rugby

The emails I receive from people across the country confirm that many of us are tired of watching politics dismantle our game. It is exhausting work to keep pushing against this wall but I refuse to let the integrity of our sport fade away.

If not on merit all the best will move on and you do a injustice to the team and the country.

It is an insult to non-white players to insist on "black" quotas. Let ALL players earn their positions on MERIT & play with PRIDE, knowing they are the BEST! !!!NO POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN RUGBY OR ANYOU OTHER SPORT.

How many more years will the ANC play the racist card. We are over 20 years past the old apartheid days and still we play the racist game. Enough is enough. Let's become a "normal" society.
