This is the question I have often pondered over the years.
Sure they are evil, but to purely not like someone because they come from South Africa does have a racist slant on it.
What about if you can justify it purely on the cricket team?
Still racist, well its not monkey slur, but it’ll do.
So why do I hate South Africans, I can narrow it down to two events.
Kepler Wessels bagging Australia after going back to South Africa, even after they let the untalented pr1ck open for them.
And Brian McMillan’s hissy fit in the 92 world cup. Everyone knew it was going to rain num nuts, everyone knew the rain rule was flawed and favoured the side batting first. So why send the other side in and then sook about it.
These are trivial events that won’t sway a neutral person, so now I’ll use the big cannons.
South Africa’s opening bowler, and most popular sportsmen, Ntini, is a convicted rapist. Not alleged, but convicted, who was only let out of jail, after being found not guilty on a technicality.
Hansie Cronje ran over a small child and killed it. He says it was an accident, but he was heard to say ‘what were the odds of that happening” shortly afterwards.
Graham Smith is an @sshole. That is all.
Herchelle Gibbs accepted money to throw his innings, and sell out his country. Then he didn’t even do that right. You can’t trust him if youre a bookie or a cricket fan.
KP is South African.
Andre Nel is a serial killer. I have no proof, but look at his eyes.
Their ex coach, and a nice guy, Bob Woolmer was found dead in a hotel room. Coincidence that the South Africans were in the region at the same time, I’ll let you be the judge.
Tony Greig is South African, and a pervert. 
Hansie Cronje was a match fixer, who then became a born again Christian (a worse crime?), before he faked his own death and is now living in a ménage a trois with Princess Di and 2pac.
Jacques Kallis is really boring.
And between you and I, an ex Victorian Legend suspects one of their players is a terrorist.
To top all this off, this week they beat an Australian domestic team savagely. New Zealand is the least populated state of Australia, they only have 300 residents, and so to embarrass them like that is quite unnecessary.
I think they made Daniel Vettori cry.

As sung by the Spitting Image team, many moons ago.. I thought it tied in perfectly with your sentiments!I’ve travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to PeruI’ve had sunshine in the arctic and a swim in TinbuktuI’ve seen unicorns in Burma and a Yetti in NepalAnd I’ve danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hallI’ve met the King of China and a working Yorkshire minerBut I’ve never met a nice South African.No he’s never met a nice South AfricanAnd that’s not bloody surprising man’Cause we’re a bunch of arrogant b***tardsWho hate black peopleI once got served in Woolies aften less than four week’s waitI had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn’t lateI know a public swimming bath where they don’t piss in the poolI know a guy who got a job straight after leaving schoolI’ve met a normal merman and a fairly modest GermanBut I’ve never met a nice South African.No he’s never met a nice South AfricanAnd that’s not bloody surprising man’Cause we’re a bunch of talentless murderersWho smell like baboonsI’ve had a close encounter of the twenty-second kindThat’s when an alien spaceship disappears up your behindI got directory enquiries after less than forty ringsI’ve even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney’s WingsI’ve seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wigBut I’ve never met a nice South African.No he’s never met a nice South AfricanAnd that’s not bloody surprising man’Cause we’re a bunch of ignorant loudmouthsWith no sense of humour – ha haI’ve met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred AstaireAt the BBC in London he’s the chief commissionaireI know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodilliesI met a man in Katmandu who claimed to have two williesI’ve had a nice pot noodle but I’ve never had a poodleAnd I’ve never met a nice South African.No he’s never met a nice South AfricanAnd that’s not bloody surprising manBecause we’ve never met one eitherExcept for Breyten Breytenbach and he’s emigrated to Paris. (farts)Yes he’s quite a nice South AfricanAnd he’s hardly ever killed anyoneAnd he’s not smelly at all.That’s why they put him prison.
Very good song.
Good question.
Ntini is not a convicted racist. He was convicted by a court, then it was overturned by a higher court. If his lawyers were so fancy they would have got the first one dismissed. Calling him a ‘convicted racist’ is like calling Lindy Chamberlain a convicted child killer ; sure it might be true, but there’s some doubt.But don’t fear, you can still hate saffers from the rapist angle.. I give you Jacob Zuma, deputy president of the rainbow nation and the man who showered after raping a HIV positive woman because it “would minimise the risk of contracting the disease [HIV]“.
As guilty as Lindy Chamberlain? That’s good enough for me. (Another fine NZ export to Aus up there with Pauline Hansen and that Trollope from Sylvania Waters)BTW, what shabby technicality did Ntini get off on? The Navjot Sidhu defence; too valuable to a national team?
Hey, you can take Russel Crowe back while you’re at it!There’s a big debate on a [Evil] south african forum here : http://forum.mg.co.za/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1802089074&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1According to Gauntlett (Ntini’s lawyer), the junior magistrate failed to apply his mind on these:a) He said the law required that where evidence of a single witness was flawed or showed inconsistencies, the State had to produce witnesses who could corroborate it and this had not happened in Ntini’s case.b) He said the victim had given four contradictory statements regarding whether or not Ntini had locked the door to the womens’ toilets at East London’s Buffalo Park cricket grounds before he raped her. “Nowhere does she explain this glaring inconsistency,” said Gauntlett.c) He pointed out that the investigation officer Edward Ntakana’s evidence had been “hopeless” and had not corroborated the victim’s. Ntakana admitted fabricating material in his investigation diary and lost a pocketbook which might have been vital to the case.d) The district surgeon had also not been able to find corroboratory medical evidence of rape and indicated that this was often the case with adult women.e) Gauntlett said he found aspects of Matokazi’s version of events before, during and after the “alleged rape” at the cricket grounds highly improbable.”What are the probabilities that a would-be rapist would pick up a woman living in the same street as him, driving a highly visible monogrammed luxury car and, after forming an intention to rape her, he carries it out in an open public toilet near an open shop.” He said Ntini had also “put himself on the scene” in a visible way, talking to teammates and administrators before the alleged rape took place.f) He said the complainant testified that Ntini terminated the rape before ejaculating when she gave a single piercing scream. Gauntlett said on the complainant’s version she then climbed into the car of “the thwarted rapist” and drove back to her home with him “without fear he would pull off the road and finish the act”. Gauntlett said on Matokazi’s own evidence she admired Ntini and regarded him as handsome. She had greeted him often, but he had not responded. “We’re saying she was attracted to him and the evidence shows it.”
AM, all i said was he was convicted of rape, and he was, so was lindy chamberlin, they were convicted, and then had it overturned with a higher court. Which is all true. And lets nor forget you are quoting his lawyer. Rape victims often make small mistakes with details. The bit about him being well known is not all that weird, rape is about control and power. The cop made mistakes, thats usually how guilty people get off. In Australia, and most western countries the single witness does not need corroborating witnesses if their story is not 100 the same at all times.As far as Kiwis go, Luke Ronchi is one we’re happy to keep.
Luke Ronchi, born in Dannevirke. Just like yet another great NZ export to the West Island…(Sir) Joh Bjelke-Petersen
Cheers Uncle J, I left in the bit about it been Ntini’s lawyer as there would be obvious bias associated with that.. however the guy is stating the reasons the case was dismissed which is the question that sportsfreak asked, I didn’t want to search around for a neutral person saying the same reasons with less spin.In your article you labelled him a convicted rapist which is as correct as referring to Chamberlain as a ‘convicted child killer’. If you take the word of their first [evil] court, then you’d have to recognise their second [also evil] court which overturned the charges. It would have been correct to call him a convicted rapist before the ruling was overturned, now he’s merely a ‘formerly convicted rapist who was found innocent on appeal’. Regardless, he was engaged to be married at the time of the consensual act, so a pretty low act regardless (unless Warney does it, he’s a champion)–Well keep Crowded House and Pharlap too.
Yup, you can keep Crowded House, living or dead.You can keep that Willie Mason idiot too.
is Willie one of yours! Figures..probably doesn’t explain why he gave so much disrespect to the haka though
Formerly convicted rapist who was found innocent on appeal, i like that. But we are all in agreeance he is evil because he comes from South Africa, right?
Big Willie’s from Auckland. The disrespecting the haka bit was probably because he feels he has to try extra hard to prove he’s an Aussie. Hitler was an Austrian etc…Jrod; I wouldn’t put any form of evil past a goat herder.
most definately evil, total agreeance there.I wouldn’t mind the evil Charlize teaching me a few lessons though..
Good reasons enough to hate the Zulus…..
I’ve thought of another reason.Rudi Keutzen is South African. And he’s a really biased prick.
I AM FROM SOUTH AFRICA FORMALLY AND LOVE SOUTH AFRICA THE PLACE THE BEAUTY COS ITS HOME EVERY COUNTRY HAS PEOPLE GOOD BAD OR WHATEVER
LOVE RESPECT ALL
