It was disgusting to read about the racist attack on a black woman at the rugby Test on Saturday.

I was at the same match not because I wanted to but because of my involvement in preparations for the 2009 and 2010 tournaments.

I must say I have never seen such hooligans in my life. White people were pouring beer over the heads of others.

We must assume it was beer since they like "playing" with urine, as is evident from the actions of young racists in Free State.

They were throwing drums at people, possibly hoping to hit the blacks who were there.

Having heard this story I realise that the strange stares I was getting from several whites were not just my imagination. Luckily no one dared come near me because I would have taught them a lesson they would never have forgotten.

These racists have not seen the last of us. Unlike Ziningi Shibambo, I will be going to these so-called white games again and again until they pack their bags and leave for Perth.
