LETTER: Blitzbokke teach a lesson on merit

The Blitzboks before their Cup final against Scotland who stunned the South Africans to win their first Sevens trophy. Picture: GETTY IMAGES/ROGER SEDRES

The Blitzbokke were again brilliant in winning back-to-back gold medals at the Dubai Sevens on consecutive weekends. Talk about timing! Talk about exhausting the last drop of petrol in the tank! Reduced to a squad of 11 men after three injuries for the second tournament, they did not match their form in the first. Yet, like the true champions they are, they slew all their opponents, winning the semifinal against France and the final against Australia in the dying seconds of the game. Talk of sheer guts and determination!

What a shining light they are in these ghastly times of the coronavirus, corruption and widespread deterioration of standards in our country. Both the Blitzbokke and the senior Springboks end the year as world champions. And both teams were selected purely on merit. Are the politicians listening?

The ANC should teach other parties how to be mature democratic playersThe Israel-Palestine issue remains a deeply sensitive matter and the ANC leaders should stop trivialising it for political point-scoring. The ANC needs to do something to stay relevant, it had 28 years to show us, but the only thing shown was how to behave with no moral compass and ethics, have no accountability and become professional thieves, did I miss anything? ANC can only teach how to sell your own people to the enemy qha Are they going to pay their workers 🤔
