JOHANNESBURG - The South African cricket season is over but it’s still a very busy period for the sport.
And then the work begins. In and among an overflowing in-box later this year will be feedback in the shape of a report or otherwise from advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza, the Transformation Ombudsman, heading up the Social Justice and National building project.The project started inauspiciously. Perhaps the attachment of former CSA director Eugenia Kula-Ameyaw, whose brainchild the SJN product was, made many sceptical.
Those perspectives, many of which will hopefully reach Ntsebeza’s desk by the end of the week when the deadline for submissions expires, provide a view of a sport that had adopted transformation, rather than genuinely embraced it and made it a living part of its existence.
