The year has gone in a flash... I haven't been here in a while, but just to show that I have been busy elsewhere, among other more important projects, here's a series I was working on for the 1014 Rugby site. A lot has been spoken on the issue of Springbok transformation, so it seemed good for me to write a summation of sorts in the form of a series of articles that lends some insight to the international observer about this matter in South Africa, and hopefully helps "Saffa's" see things from a less negative perspective. It's not merely about rugby, but sport and society in general. Since coming out of Apartheid the country has been in an odd space of growth and integration. We have a segregated country with deep divisions, but sport is a tool meant to aid in unification. So here's the "rugby articles" that are essentially about more than rugby and sport. Of course its contentious and there will be those who disagree; but one of the best things about the 1014 is the emphasis on the 5 values of World Rugby integrity, passion, discipline, solidarity and respect; so these difficult issues can be discussed adequately and constructively.
