former Proteas and five senior coaches have thrown their weight behind Lungi Ngidi and the global 'Black Lives Matter' campaign.
As a nation ... we have a past that is also difficult in terms of racial discrimination. So, definitely, we will be addressing it as a team. It’s something we have to take seriously and like the rest of the world is doing, take a stand." Rudi Steyn, Pat Symcox and Boeta Dippenaar took to social media to confront Ngidi about his comments, claiming “All Lives Matter” which led to a massive debate flaring up on social media.
"We commend Lungi Ngidi for supporting Black Lives Matter – and we’d like to add our support for it too," "We note the criticism aimed at Lungi for expressing his views – and we hope that Cricket South Africa , together with fellow cricketers – both present and past – will come out strongly in support of BLM.
The former cricketers and coaches called on Cricket SA "to be unequivocal about its position and to make sure the problem of racism in cricket is confronted".
