In April, New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully visited six countries in six days in southern Africa, as part of New Zealand’s expanding engagement with Africa. Basing himself at a hotel at OR Tambo airport in Johannesburg, Mr McCully travelled to Botswana, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Pretoria. OR Tambo served as an excellent hub. Plan B Mr McCully with South African Foreign Minister Hon was only necessary when the weather closed in on the Maite Nkoana-Mashabane delegation in Lesotho, resulting in a quick drive courtesy of the Lesotho Foreign Ministry to neighbouring Bloemfontein to fly back for an evening meeting with the South African Foreign Minister in Pretoria.

This typical kindergarten psychology has steeped into the human gene over the years. But what if such statements were made in the realm of international sport where national and international sporting codes, domestic legal systems, national policies, individual athlete contracts all militate against such symbolic acts of idealism? Many have found the answer in sporting boycotts. Sports and politics have had an incorrigible affair for centuries, where movements in one have undoubtedly yielded movement in the other and sporting boycotts have been perennially used against nations whose human rights records are abysmal as a manifestation of both collective ideals and national policy.
