Cosatu ‘glad’ with more black players
But claim South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer is still ‘racist’

THE Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) were pleased yesterday that the number of black players in the South African starting line-up had doubled.

Earlier on in the week, Cosatu called for Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer to be sacked and branded him racist, as they had received a number of complaints from black players.

While they are “glad” that more black players have been selected, Cosatu still feel that Meyer has to go before they see a real transformation.
