CAPE TOWN - The Proteas made the headlines at the start of the T20 series against England by controversially deciding not to take a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Coach Mark Boucher explained that they opted to “live” it rather than do the symbolic kneeling, which many other sports teams around the world have adopted.
The South Africans decided to rather shed the spotlight on gender-based violence by wearing black armbands during their 3-0 defeat.
This topic formed part of IOL Sport’s top five stories of the week.
