Now for an explanation please, Mashishi

The disastrous display by our Olympians in Beijing should have taught the Sascoc leadership a lesson or two about transformation.

I am not happy that we only managed one medal, but excited that Moss Mashishi and his pathetic, unbalanced committee had failed.

I wanted them to be embarrassed for having unfairly mistreated Athletics South Africa president Leonard Chuene, who has been vindicated since the only medal came from athletics. Mashishi was also arrogant towards sport portfolio committee chairman Buti Komphela when he criticised the racial composition of Sascoc.

Now is the time for Komphela to summon Mashishi to Parliament to try and get an explanation for our failure.
