South African Sports, like the rest of South African life, are SEGREGATEO. Athletics in South Africa are controlled by the White ~inority. £quivelent facilities and opportun­ ities for the majority, Africans and other Man-Whites, are nonexistent or infe~lor. South Africa's policy of APARTHEID (apart-ness) means that ~hites and Non-Whites cannot play together. Spectators of different races cannot even sit together at sporting events. South Africa's representation at international tournaments is for ~HITES ONLY. South African politicians try to hide the facts by theoretically propo ing to send interracial teams abrosd (such as to the Olympics), but in truth APARTHEID and WHITE ~INORITY CONTROL PREVAIL.
