'we Are Being Sold Out': Gayton Mckenzie Criticises Black Administrators For Failing Transformation In South African Sports

Minister of Sports Gayton McKenzie has denied that white people are to blame for the lack of transformation in South African sports and slammed black administrators for their failure to effect change.

Although the country has implemented policies aimed at fast-tracking transformation, sports such as cricket, swimming, and rugby have consistently struggled to produce many black athletes who can compete at the highest level.

Last year, a significant outcry erupted in South Africa when the Proteas squad for the T20 World Cup, held in the Caribbean and the United States, featured only one black African player, Kagiso Rabada .

Swimming South Africa's challenges in achieving transformation were evident at the Paris Olympic Games last year, where the team consisted entirely of white athletes , despite the majority of the population being black.

In an interview with Robert Marawa on 947 on Thursday, McKenzie addressed the slow pace of transformation in some of the country's sports and pointed out that black presidents lead most sporting federations in South Africa.
