I could not agree more. Irrational decisions are made in times of doubt, to solve a problem you need a solution & you need choices to make a decision. Hence why I agree with the below while they look for solutions & choices to make decisions. #tokyo2020

Why is it always about transformation! Can it not just be based on skill? The government should wake up & start spending money on grassroot development. Sport has no colour yet the Minister of Sport is concerned by rate of transformation in SA sport
