This “sick” state of affairs comes against the backdrop of an age-cheating scandal that has unfolded at Glenwood High School in Durban over the past month.In a letter earlier this month, Noel Ingle, who heads the SA Schools Rugby Union and the Glenwood Preparatory School, where the boys involved started playing rugby, apologised and pleaded innocence.
“We’re aware that most schoolchildren get agents from the age of 15 or 16. There are many agents who sign up players illegally and begin selling them across the country. There are also many schools – especially in KwaZulu-Natal – that ‘buy’ children from the Eastern Cape. It’s sick, to be honest. “Everyone goes on about what an opportunity it is for the child, but what happens to that child if they don’t end up making it – if they perhaps don’t make the first team or the Craven Week team, and don’t get a contract? Or if they don’t go to an academy, what is that child supposed to do then? Does he go back to the Eastern Cape? What happens next?”
Bone density tests on two of the players determined they were 16 and 17, despite playing for Natal in the Under-13 final last year.
Absurd, do they do it with academic also?
Football age 😀
