DA to lodge HRC and World Rugby complaint over Grant Khomo rugby quota controversy
29 June 2023
The DA condemns the disqualification of Western Province in the Grant Khomo-rugby tournament for allegedly not meeting the quota requirements.
Racial quotas have no place in sports, especially in children's sports, and the DA will request an investigation by the SA Human Rights Commission.
We will also inform World Rugby about the government's interference in grassroots rugby and the violation of its regulations.
The DA strongly condemns the unjust discrimination witnessed at the under 16 Grant Khomo-rugby tournament, where Western Province was disqualified for allegedly failing to field the required number of quota players in their squad.
