Mbhalati also said he was struck on the back with a cellphone, thrown from the crowd during the 2013 RamSlam T20 final in Durban. Security at the time told him to ignore what happened.
Mbhalati’s testimony included a number of instances in which black players and white players travelled separately and were housed in separate hotel rooms during away games. “It became so normal for us; the white guys would all get into their combi when we were going to games, and all the black players would travel together in their own combi, we used to call ours the ‘darkie bus’. Sometimes you find that the white guys would even sit on top of their luggage in that white bus,” said Mbhalati.
On away trips, while white players might arrange social engagements with white players in the opposing team, black players were hardly ever invited. “You will be sitting in the changeroom the next day and you hear how nice the braai was and how nice the meat tasted and you ask yourself why you weren’t invited.”
