Racists desperate for NZ support
Racists desperate for NZ support
Our sporting bodies should realise that white South Africa is looking to them for their aid and support now more than ever before. It is no good our sporting administrators saying "we are not important sports", or "we will only send a club team" South African racists need them all. Take the recent Petone club tour for example: Their baggage manager, Mr Johannes du Plessis summed it up when he said (Dominion 2.3.74): "South Africans feel very badly about the cancellation of last year's tour. Petone's tour is more than just a club tour. We must, and do, treat them as internationals. They are making up for the loss of the Springboks rugby tour of New Zealand."
