Former Protea players Boeta Dippenaar and Pat Symcox said they stood by what they said in Facebook posts with regards to Lungi Ngidi’s statements on the Black Lives Matter movement.
"I’ve been called a racist for my post. What’s racist about what I said? I wouldn’t have done it if I was a player‚” Dippenaar said.
“The statistics in America and I’m quoting the ones from John Jay College and they say a white person is more likely to be shot by a police officer than a black person. "The number of white people shot by police is significantly higher‚ relative to the population‚ than black people.” Symcox‚ who played in 20 Tests and 80 ODI’s between 1993 and 1999‚ responded to Steyn’s post with this:"Stop trying to get Proteas involved in his belief."A proper dog and pony show with cricket being dragged through the mud daily. Buy popcorn and watch‚” Symcox said
"Now when Ngidi has his next meal perhaps he would rather consider supporting the farmers of South Africa who are under pressure right now. A cause worth supporting."
