One of these women is a multiple Olympic medal-winning athlete; the other is a "superfan".
One of these gets sponsored to travel the world, and all her expenses are paid by the government and agencies to sit on the sidelines and hope the camera shows her for a few seconds.
The other has to swim for another country now because her own country apparently doesn't have enough money for her elite training or to reward her for the achievements and pride she's brought this nation.
Make it make sense.
I agree with Queen B. Gayton McKenzie needs to resign. I refuse to accept that South Africa can spend R31 million on a World Cup delegation while our own swimmers must find R55,000 to represent the country. If this is his idea of prioritising sport, we've got a serious problem.
I would argue that this might be a good thing - it will start the conversation as to what is happening, maybe then action will be taken against that minister
I understand she’s doing this as a ‘fuck you’ to Swimming South Africa specifically, but she needs to be prepared for the negative energy on how South Africa will be mentioned around this conversation. She won’t like it but she needs to be prepared for it.
Forgive me if I lost my decorum minding the business of others, I fear Twitter today had a pre-Musk quality that I simply couldn’t ignore. Wishing everyone well 🙏
