A SASA circular this month to its provincial offices said: “The following quota system must be implemented with immediate effect to reflect the demographics … A minimum of 40% from [previously] disadvantaged communities for all SASA teams on all levels of competition‚ with specific emphasis on girls. ”
SASA president William Mokatsanyane told TimesLIVE the quota was not new."It's been around for years‚ but it's been ignored."The circular seen by TimesLIVE required that at least one athlete per event and age group come from a previously disadvantaged community‚ and specified a maximum entry of four per event for high schools and three for junior schools .
In provinces where they couldn't field at least one previously disadvantaged athlete in an event - pole vault and hammer throw were particularly problematic - then selectors needed to ensure they still reached the 40% quota.
Good. Better to ignore 'transformation' and 'diversity' imperatives.
Utter bull$|t !!!! Transformation is important, but at the expense of being competitive ? Quotas should be scrapped, and people should be selected on their ability alone, not their background or their race....
READ AND WEEP! RACIAL QUOTAS enforced in school athletics, including primary schools. A minimum of 40% representivity of PDIs on all levels of competition A minimum of 1 PDI for every event, even if that PDI has not met the required qualifying standards.
Arrrggg stop this.
