CSA’s Lawson Naidoo admits to Eusebius McKaiser that the directive was taken without consulting Proteas players

In this episode of Eusebius on TimesLIVE, CSA’s Lawson Naidoo joins the platform to explain its decision that it is compulsory for the Proteas to take a knee before their matches in a show of antiracism solidarity.

McKaiser challenges Naidoo to explain what value such symbolism has if it is not voluntary. Naidoo concedes that the moral and political value of symbolism is diminished when it is mandatory...A subscription gives you full digital access to all Sunday Times content.Registered on the BusinessLIVE, Business Day or Financial Mail websites?

Eusebius While the gesture is nice, slightly kinda loses it's meaning when it's mandated, but hey what do I know, I still believe in freedom of expression,

Eusebius This does an injustice to that interview. Perhaps ‘Lawson Naidoo responds to why the players were not consulted’ might’ve been better. Give the interview a listen, Eusebius did a fantastic job holding him to account. Cue in QDK next? 😀

Taking the knee is now just a universal anti-racism gesture. Only racists will find it difficult to make the gesture...and there shouldn't be a place for racists in our sport.

If to kneel shows I care well that's so easy...but helping people in poverty with food.. home's ....education then I will take people seriously...

Where’s Democracy!? Dictatorship!?

Rightly so, exposed the freedom of choice pundits, like they were asked to murder someone...

Promoting the BLM “brand” that has been created does nothing to help anyone in real-life, it's just used for empty publicity and politics. The founders of the BLM org in the USA used donated money meant to help African Americans and bought millions of dollars worth of property.

Voetsek, sit down, why must it be defended, is it not a common cause?

Well then this is a management fail and the CSA should be doing an internal investigation and chopping heads where necessary. Look at what you guys did? This can not be how top management does things guys.

TiisetsoMalepa The issue is: 'lack of support for the BLM movement.' Many people support the principle that Black lives matter, but do not want to be assiciated with BLM for very valid reasons. Making support for the BLM movement compulsory is a matter of huge concern. TiisetsoMalepa Dictatorship TiisetsoMalepa Cricket SA board orders all Proteas team members to start taking the knee.

De Kock not taking knee a shock for teammates, says BavumaProteas skipper dismisses rumours star batsman is to be removed from the World Cup roster Get it right BD - “taken aback” is what he said, you sensationalised it with your “shock” replacement!
