Former fast bowler Ethy Mbhalati adds to allegations of racism

Former SA A fast bowler Ethy Mbhalati on Tuesday lifted the lid on allegations of institutionalised racism at the Northerns Cricket Union in Centurion and said the team has shattered the careers of many promising black cricketers.

A list of questions was sent to the NCU but it had not responded at the time of publishing the story. “But they just didn’t care. You will have incidents where if something goes missing in the dressing room‚ the first suspects are always black players and when that thing is found later‚ no-one comes to apologise.

“I have had experiences where a player will come back from the Proteas out of form and they would drop me so that he could play to regain confidence. When you talk to the management‚ it’s like you are talking to a wall. “I was touched when they started attacking Lungi after he spoke about his support for the Black Lives Matter movement. It hit me very hard to see that these things still exist‚” he said.
