I watched cricket on TV: Pretoria Boys High and Affies. Guess what? Only one player of colour. No wonder our Proteas are battling having to field all these players of colour when they are not good enough.

Biggy Numsa’s expulsion from Cosatu may be the “winds of change” political commentators have predicted for some time – a belligerent, leftist workers’ party opposing the immoral, rudderless comrade alliance. It may also herald the eventual collapse of the proverbial Berlin Wall locally between bankrupt Marxism and thriving capitalism’s own choices. Dan W New topic: the Unemployment Insurance Fund. The department of labour is incompetent. I have been there four times with my doctor’s report on my disability – silicosis of my lung from working in poison fumes for 33 years.

Linda Citizen, why do you allow Nissan Datsun GO adverts in your paper, when you are well aware it failed crash tests? For the love of the money, I suppose. Mngadi Wherever the EFF is present – in parliament, the legislature, Marikana, fast-food outlets and now “Malemaville” – they create chaos. What a bunch of cretins. Trevor John Lloyd (October 10), your column about the “popular” West is so true. The Arab world lives in chaos, which they have chosen because of their hatred of infidels.

Julius So the Bok captain has the “De Villiers syndrome”: he played well but couldn’t catch or pass. What is left is running on and off the field. Yes, well played this weekend. Do not speak – just play, my captain. Bok for life. Richard Job creation for the poor should be the main criterion for BEE cadres – not wealth creation, as the priority for economic freedom and self- esteem is jobs. Al Pereira
