And truly nobody gives a damn about that - or talks about all those rugby tours during the South African apartheid regime. I assume there were some cricket tours as well but I don't that much about the sport. It's an old story of another double standards yet because it affects Africa then nobody really cares anymore. These days a lot of ethic Africans even compete for more wealthy nations so it's all been swept under the carpet anyway. A dust in the history wind...
