South Africa and sport
Sir, — If there ever was an example of “politics in sport,” it is the South African Counsul-General describing the South African Council on Sport (5.A.C.0.5.) as an extremist minority. The ConsulateGeneral is not prepared to live up to its own standards. The New Zealand Government claims difficulties in convincing the world of its anti-aparthied commitment. Rather more action at home is necessary. Mr Muldoon does not seem to realise that Gleneagles must be put into effect, before claiming it is. The South African Govern, ment gets the impression from this carry-on, of New Zealand sympathy. The way out is to put the Government’s promises into action. One method is to close the South African ConsulateGeneral. Think of the good effect, and “free speech” is not at stake. — Yours, etc., GERALD DAVIDSON. August 24, 1978.
