I read the ministry’s response and I must say its a rational response.SARU wants his citizenship expedited.Why was this not done earlier as you put it, the guy has played 15 tests.Why are they making their lack of planning the ministry’s problem.His application is not being denied it just won’t be expedited.Stop creating the impression that it is being denied.Shame on you!!

OK so lets accept this as fact.So if it applies to players it must also apply to coaches So Bafana coach, swimiimg coach etc must also go! Or maybe it is just Stofile flexing his arm against rugby again because his brother didnt get the job-got beaten in election by Hoskins
Even better as rugby is the only sport that the government doesnt own maybe it is time for SA Rugby to say up yours and form an independent league. The IRB in their consitution forbids political meddling in team selection so if SA Rugby went to them and said this is what we are doing and as S A Rugby own the name Springboks we could have a side called Springboks. That way the Government would have a side called Proteas and they would play against Zimbabwe or Paraguy while the Springboks would play England or All Blacks What so you think

This is what our esteemed ‘intelligent’ government is doing to nurses, doctors, IT skills, engineers.

Heck if you are South African they are encouraging us to leave, if you arent, then they REALLY dont want your skills. The rest of the world will accept gleefully accept these people because they know what they can do for their country.

Makhenkesi Stofile – get a brain, your current one is broken.
