Springbok tour
Sir, — It has taken certain people a long time to “see the light,” and “jump on the band-waggon”, against the Springbok tour. “Better late than never.” but “there’s none so blind as those that will not see.” In recent years, several clergy, and others have been sent into exile from South Africa for speaking openly on behalf of the coloured people, It was the South African Government which first introduced politics into sport, with its laws, and racist policies against the coloureds. We have seen on television a white man on a job. To me, this is reminiscent of America before the Civil War. My appreciation to H.A.R.T. and C.A.R.E. for their outstanding efforts on behalf of humanity and their country. Some people owe them an apology for the rotten things they have said against them. — Yours, etc., E. DIBBEN. November 19, 1980.
