The Wagpos Hoërskool, Brits, pupil said she was unhappy about the incident.

Rego Modise, a Grade 11 pupil at the North West school, said she persuaded her parents to drive her to Hoërskool Grenswag for Bokkie Week trials after being given approval by her coach.

All seemed well when she was allowed to register after producing her birth certificate and paying a R30 fee.

But everything changed when she and two white pupils later met coach Louis Koen, who enquired who had sent them.

Rego said yesterday: "I told him I was sent by my coach. He then asked me: 'Didn't they tell you anything else?' and I said no. Then he told me that Bokkie Week was for white kids only."

Modise said: "It's an affront to our democracy that exclusive sporting events organised along racial lines are still happening."

The premier was responding to a statement ascribed to CEO of Afrikaner Volkseie Sport, Peter Stans, to the effect that Rego had not been invited for the trials, which were for "Afrikaner" children only.

MEC for education Louisa Mabe confirmed that her department would investigate the incident.

It is about time that we open a public debate and discource on race relations and race in South Africa. I agree with DeCock that we are too lenient on these White Afrikaans speaking conseravtive racists clots. When Julius Malema referred to a journalists as "bloody agent", he was labelled a racist and was hauled before courts by an Afrikaans speaking racist organisation called Afriforum and Black people kept quite......We must opne a public debate on this issue and declare racism a criminal offence.

We welcome the decision by Comrade Thandi to intervern under the circumstance. A job well done Comrade Premier that is what a leader should do. A promotion is on its way , we want you to sort out the mess that Sexwale have done in the Department of Human Settlement after Mangaung. The Premier has done very well to solve lots of crisis that poor Modiselle has created in that province as such credit must be given were is due. Northwest used to be a Hooligans paradise during Modiselle error but now that has since been History, thank you very much comrade premier, the Commander in Chief is very happy about your progress. Even when you disagree about something you do not mix your self with factions that want to bankrupt our party but talk your point straight without any influence from ''small boys'' who were born when Mandela was released from prison. Viva Comrade Thandi Viva!

It has EVERYTHING to do with being black.
The Rev Stan (yes, how delightfully 'christian') can try and justify it as much as he likes but the fact remains that she was denied the opportunity to play because she was not 'white'. That is just too despicable for words.

I know you intentionally chose to ignore this point...and just to think that a grade 11 pupil would fabricate such a story is beyond comprehension...this is my point with some people...they choose to defend the most outrageous and disgusting things people do to others...aligning themselves by the colour of their skins of course...what a shame...
