Trade union Solidarity said it would ask on Wednesday that the Labour Court in Johannesburg set aside the sport and recreation ministry's transformation charter.

It said that if its application was successful, it would mean an end to the politicising of sport - and that the focus would be on developing and using the talents of all athletes and players.

Solidarity said the application was part of the union and its sister organisation AfriForum’s joint campaign against applying quotas in sport. This information revealed that the intention of sports authorities went way beyond team selection. The organisations said the quotas even involved the composition according to race of coaches, board and committee members, and support staff.if approved, this transformation charter would give sports minister Tokozile Xasa almost unlimited power over sport.
