Following the recent debate about transformation in the Springbok rugby squad, Twitter users have turned their attention on Bafana Bafana.
Pointing out that talk of transformation has traditionally been centered on rugby and cricket, tweeters have been asking: “What about Bafana Bafana?”
The national soccer team’s recent disasterous outing against Mauritania, ranked 42 places below South Africa, brought into sharp focus the poor shape Bafana is in.
Many Twitter users expressed the sentiment that the national cricket and rugby teams should not be the only ones forced to address the issue of racial composition of their teams.
