Charl Langeveldt has opted out of the tour to India.
Because “the controversy over the selection of the squad so upset him he feels he won’t be in the right frame of mind for the matches.”
Don’t give us that nonsense Charl, big Andre got to you.
It’s obviously partly my fault.
I did call for him to kill you, but at the time I thought it was justified, and plus it was in my podcast so that doesn’t count.
I may have got that call wrong.
It’s just that you really bore us Charl, and I thought if Andre killed you he might get reinstated.
You can see the logic in htat, surely.
Your death, for the greater good of the cricket watching public.
Now you have quit the tour, and presumably gone into hiding on the same island as Hansie Cronje.
I do apologise, almost sincerely, but now I will do even better, I will retract the cricket fatwa I imposed on you.
Andre, for fu©k sakes don’t kill the man.
I have bigger plans for you anyway, your cricket career is obviously over, so why not look into a bit of administracrat restructuring.
You know the people who are calling for this quota, so find them and destroy them.
Use your evil powers for good Andre.
Then when you are finished with the quota loving administracrats, you and I will take over the world.
Like we have always planned.
Now be gone Andre, your master needs his rest.
It’ll be bloody interesting to see who they call as a replacement because, in theory, shouldn’t it be another black?
Or coloured.
these quotas are just ridiculous.
If Daniel Vettori was South African would he fit into some coloured quota?
isn’t Cape coloured something specific?
I believe Cape Coloured is a group of different ethnicities given the same classification under Apartheid. Many are African/Caucasian however there are also Malays, Indonesians and Indians who were bought in by the dutch as slaves into the Cape Town region. Not sure on the % African one is required to be to count as a quota player – in Australia I believe 1/16th is enough to be Aboriginal.
So it has to be specifically African or Cape Coloured then?So if a similar system was introduced in NZ, Jeetan Patel, Ross Taylor and Andre Adams (jury still seems to be out on Vettori) wouldn’t earn you any quota points?Whereas 94% Caucasian Jamie How would…Yup, it makes heaps of sense.
it just shows how ridiculous it is, classifying people always classifying people.
Indian’s are ‘black’ in South Africa as well. Chineese are not really defined as previously disadvantaged or otherwise.”Overt racial discrimination is not illegal in South Africa. In terms of the Employment Equity Act of 1998 employers are required to discriminate against individuals from the ‘over-represented’ white minority until demographic proportionality has been received.”
I liked this article, especially the last bit.I want to hear what Norman Arse-end give in his press confrence. If he doesn’t pick Nel, he’ll get castigated, if does pick Nel he’ll commit suicide, pick your poison.
Moses what’s that quote from?
@Miriam: hereIt’s from a story about a government job that told whites need not apply
till yesterday he was joking very good (like he said he can swing both ways…etc..)i donno why he suddenly changed his stance…
Moses,How are Italians classified in these enlightened rules?And what about Taylor? 1/2 Scot, 1/2 Samoan (remember they came from China) ?
i find quotas patronising.
Miriam do you ever sleep?
not very much, no.
By choice? Or just don’t need to?
Mims is like Margaret Thatcher, only needs four hours sleep a night.I think Charl has been a brave boy, and deserves some respect for taking the stance he has.They’ll probably replace him with the worst bowler in history, Roger Telemachus
Bleurgh! What an insult to Miriam.Yeah I concur, respect.
I did actually start to write this blog to give Charl respect, but it ended up with me and Andre taking over the world.But most things do.
Like Pinky and the Brain?
I’d say Andre’s got the brains!
Gee, Andre, what are we going to do tonight?
Ahh! Brilliant. Humour me here…The same thing we do every night Jrod… try and take over the world.
Blogger Jrod said…Gee, Andre, what are we going to do tonight? Think about sexing up my sister and murdering Jacques Kallis.Same as we do every night Jrod
I don’t know, you try to have a serious conversation about race and it always WITHOUT FAIL ends up being about sexing Cinde and killing Jacques Kallis.
