This is a hard one, I sit on the fence, because it is not for me to judge as an Australian whether South Africa is doing the right thing, because I never went through apartheid.
The other side of the story to what we see as the winning motive, is that Black South Africans need role models and support and to help improve the economic standing of the black people, who are still on the bottom thrungs of society.
While I am white, I can imagine how I would feel knowing that when I went for a job interview, if I saw a Black Female I would think my chances are limited for any job, knowing that as a white male I am the last on the list to get a job.
But the issues are with Mntini, when their was outrage over his selection a few years back by this very same thing, because he was put into a very powerful South African lineup back in the late 1990's and he was only a young fellow and was only selected because he was black.
Through game time, promotion we now have him as one of the best bowlers in the world, Mntini is an inspiration for the country and is the most popular sportsman in the country, he gives a face to Black South Africa in a white dominated sport in the country.
Alas I am on the fence, but just propping up the other side, because I think we all get caught up in our own context.
Alas get rid of that joke of a president in Mbeki!
