Nanda Soobben on the SA World Cup Team
Nanda Soobben writes:
"There was a cartoon I wanted to do questioning the Bafana Bafana squad just before the start of the World Cup. But I decided against it as I didn't want to spoil the mood that engulfed our country and brought us together as a nation!...Am I being racist by questioning the composition of the Bafana team!? Why would I... I come from the trenches fighting for a non racial society and this team was racially skewed and not the non racial team we dreamt would represent us in the World Cup!!"
