I normally reserve my comments for light comments and fun engagements bt I had to weigh in here. @DJWinner, your comment was uncalled for and purely racist, couldn't you for on moment kept your racist remarks to yourself just for today?. I am a pure South African patriot and everybody who represent and hoist the flag in any event will get my support because they represent me(A blackman) regardless of the ethnicity or race. I look at the games and I never heard anybody saying white or black South African they call them South African cause that's what they are. Report Abuse

How is it racist? Do black people swim? Isn't in swimming where we expect to get most medals? Isn't where all our hopes are? I said 'our white people', our people. I wonder how can this be seen racist. Anyway, it's your opinions. Report Abuse

@DJWinner, South Africans like to swip the race issue under carpet, no one wants to deal with the Black and White issue, we are happy pretending to be a fake rainbow nation to the world. This is why most comedians bring up the race issue to try and get people comfortable with their own race. Report Abuse
