Social media abuzz as jockey Muzi Yeni accepts 14-day ban

Jockey Muzi Yeni, who has accepted a 14-day ban after an incident in the Premier's Champion Stakes on May 1, finds himself the centre of comment on social media with posts both for and against the rider.In the National Horseracing Authority inquiry into the Premier’s Challenge, Yeni was charged that “as the rider of Got The Greenlight, he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to Barahin, Johnny Hero and Second Base when he shifted in at approximately the 1,600m mark”.

• “Muzi does seem to be involved in careless and dangerous situations. Remember he tried to pull Lyle Hewitson off his mount at Greyville. He was then involved in an incident with Piere Strydom a few months ago. He needs to remember that he is supposed to be a role model for other young apprentices and up-and-coming jockeys. I believe he deserves to be suspended for a long period of time.”

• “Muzi is a repeat offender and progressive action should be meted out to him. He endangers the lives of so many jockeys and horses and sooner or later a fatal accident is going to take place. Through his reckless and thoughtless actions, he needs reschooling.”• “Explain this to me, please. Yeni was suspended for 14 days, but the objection on the day was overruled. Not that I’m a fan of how he rides, it just doesn’t make sense. Surely the result should be overturned.

Social media in racing in the UK has come under the spotlight with regular abuse of jockeys prompting the Professional Jockeys Association to join a four-day sportswide boycott of social media.

OPINIONISTA: Social Relief of Distress Grant: State chooses austerity over the welfare of millionsThe ANC government has said it cannot afford the continuation of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant. But the Constitution says the state must ‘within its available resources’ work to ‘progressively realise’ its duty to fulfil the constitutional right to social assistance. It is not a matter of financial ability but a matter of political will. The government continues to rely on loopholes and vague language to skirt its constitutional obligations.
