And now he apologizes! No explanation! He should be booted out of the team. His skills bat and ball is not unique. With a little bit of effort we can find a suitable non-white player with heart

Caved… what a pity!!

Just recall him and fine him tournament fee

Bull to his apology

For his own and the team's good, it is best that he flies back home. He should not try to reintegrate the team at this stage.

He exposed him self not to SA but to the rest of the world.

The 'tolerant' crowd probably flooded him with death threats because a chip on the shoulder makes you a nasty piece of work

He can shove his apology where the sun doesn't shine.

We do not need him in our team

The electricity grid is on the verge of total collapse but everyone is more concerned with Quinton de Kock. This is why our country is where it is, priorities have been wrong for a long time.

Knee moan yaa....

He was probably threatened by these 🤬or he won’t play again that is being Racist toward Whites when can stand up and 🤬end this we don’t need them they need us look at the rest of Africa without the White man they collapse becoming shit holes

What a weak human! giving into this bullshit! WEAK!!!

He refused to recognize Racism because he's a Racist.... Apology not accepted

So the whole hullabaloo was over nothing

Weakling!!

We the public that actually pay to go and watch a match can still make a difference. When they open matches for spectators again rather spend the money on braaivleis, let those who support BLM fill the seats.

Now that it is out, that Quinton de Kock comes from a “gebasterde familie”, watch how the right wing support for him disappears.

😅 😅 Apologize for what 🤷‍♂️ how can you apologize for practicing your culture

That’s me never watching cricket again.
