As expected, the Springboks refused to address Andre Esterhuizen's historical racist remarks which divided the nation after he was named as captain. What a missed opportunity for reconciliation, unity and stronger together . Khanyiso Tshwaku tried his best to ask but had no support.

@kaymorizm @RassieRugby is this really who you are becoming?

The background.......

What's even more disturbing is that the Springboks edited that specific question out of the press conference video that they shared with the supporters on their official platforms....

@kaymorizm The worst part is that there’s so much rapport that has been built between the Springboks and the general public. They have some cache, as long as they explain why. No Nation is as forgiving as South Africans, black or white.

@kaymorizm @kaymorizm thank you for bringing it up & being a real journalist, we deserve answers & the other "journalists" certainly aren't gonna bring it up

@kaymorizm Honestly not addressing it feels utterly disrespectful. You are trying to culture this new look springboks. That the sport fo rugby is not what it once represented in SA. That it can represent all South Africans. But you won't even discuss these things? Acknowledge it?

@kaymorizm School kids were banned amd dropped from age grade teams for bullying a year or two ago but I guess second chances are only reserved for the oppressors in South Africa

@kaymorizm The @Springboks' refusal to address the issue, and their censorship of the media, were extremely disappointing and regressive.

@kaymorizm Get a fucking life. We won't grovel anymore.

@kaymorizm Please replay my voice note tomorrow. This is who they are!!

@kaymorizm Nd he had a shocker

@kaymorizm That is what happens when you recruit Afriforum members to play for Springboks and Proteas

@kaymorizm Proper journalism🙏🏾

@kaymorizm Khanyiso about to be banned from the conferences. 🤒

@kaymorizm Most of us are still waiting for "Kill the Boer" to be addressed. Silence.

@kaymorizm Everyone has been trying to make excuses for him, except himself. Rugby unites racists, not their faux rainbows and unicorns. The supporters that wants everyone to wear a rugby jersey when they play has not let this intrude on their conscience.

@kaymorizm Had the Springboks won you would have been quite stop this nonsense of always trying to sow division

@kaymorizm The situation was addressed 14 yrs ago and he was sanctioned for his actions.

@kaymorizm Agree it was definitely hate speech 14 years ago, and he was found guilty and missed the craven week. What are we doing about “kill the boer” being sung even today?

It didn’t divide anyone other than black folks like you seeking out racism and division for Elons coins. Black folks are being slaughtered by black folks in droves and you going to try make a song and dance of a youngster calling someone a ka**ir a decade ago which he was severely punished for and moved on. Get the fuck out of you you bigoted idiot.

@kaymorizm Poor by the Boks/ SARU not deal with this proactively, but unbelievable that it is now actively suppressed. @Brendennel, @mwwelman , @haribaldijones, would be interested to hear your thoughts on this. How can the @Springboks claim to be the people's team when behaving like this?

@kaymorizm He was young

@kaymorizm they are not even disputing it

@kaymorizm Thabiso, maybe you should be dragged for your defamation case? We don't care if you were punished or not 🙄 you don't believe in giving second chances so why are you exempt from it. We call for your career to end immediately. For too long you've used powerFM for defaming people

@kaymorizm Fuck your reconciliation poes 🖕🏻 Give that man a bells, go watch fucking soccer

@kaymorizm what fucking reconciliation is needed - GET FUCKED!

I'll be one of the people constantly speaking about this until Rassie Erasmus, the Springboks and SARU say something about it. They can bluetick us all they want, but we'll keep raising it. There are many young Black & White boys that are missing out on a great learning opportunity through this. Ignoring it is the worst thing that they can do. It's wrong. Address it. Let's talk about it. Let's learn accordingly. Then we can move on. That's how it's done.

@kaymorizm This keeps getting worse😭🫣

@kaymorizm He was suspended for a year. Did he not pay his price? Mandela killed people, went to jail, and paid his price. For me, he was a good president; I didn’t think everyday: mmm you killed people… Some people forgive, many it seems can’t….

@kaymorizm It was addressed when it happened, what more do you want ?

@kaymorizm Piss off.

@kaymorizm Really? You're crying about a bad word somebody said (just because he's white, probably)? But when will you cry about the violent farm attacks and murders? You're pathetic, bro.

@kaymorizm And what did the do when Bongi got accused of calling currie a white cunt…did they address it before their game or not???

@kaymorizm As expected ?

The Boks are about rugby and results first. The reason it unites people is that the team is focused on the game and keeps political gamesmanship out. If they address years old issues each player has faced, it would detract from the game and impact the results. South Africans don’t like to lose at rugby, it makes everything worse.

@kaymorizm The colour white is living rent free in your brain buddy. You need psychiatric treatment
