Trade union Solidarity said that the implementation of quotas in sport would cause exclusion of good players based on their race.
Johannesburg - Trade union Solidarity on Wednesday, said that the implementation of quotas in sport would cause exclusion of good players based on their race and that the government needed to allow sports federations' to deal with sports issues.
"Sports must be de-politicised, what we've seen in the past few years is a stronger presence of ministers and the state departments in the affairs of sport. The effect is that the federations and other sporting bodies have become more silent. This should be reversed. The federations should come up with a plan to take sports further," Human said.
"We are not against the transformation charter, we are against those provisions that specifically speak to quotas. We believe the quotas are against what the constitution wants us to do and implement and it's against the employment act that states that quotas are not acceptable."
