An independent inquiry into the Ashwin Willemse saga at Supersport led by advocate Vincent Maleka has found that there was no racism aspect in the incident involving the former Springbok. Willemse walked out of the studio after a Super Rugby match between the Lions and the Brumbies last month while he was on air with Nick Malett and Naas Botha. Before walking out of the studio, Willemse said he was tired of being patronised by Mallet and Botha accussing them of labelling him a quota player and patronising him. Supersport announced today that the investigation has found that there was no racism on the day Willemse walked out, or prior to that day. Both Mallet and Botha will resume their duties at Supersport next month, while the door has been left open for Willemse to return. Willemse did not testify before advocate Maleka.

Die vraag is, wat het veral bruinmense aanklank laat vind by Willemse se optrede?

Parliament has described the incident that occurred during a Supersport television broadcast which involved former Springbok winger, Ashwin Willemse and rugby panelists Naas Botha and Nick Mallet as unfortunate and has called for a speedy resolution. Willemse walked off a live broadcast after expressing disdain for what he descibed as being "patronised by two individuals who played in an apartheid/segregated era". Chairperson of the committee, Beauty Dlulane says the incident has invoked much emotion and calls for investigations into the parties involved to be given space as opinions about the matter lack details. We broadcast the clip of what transpired during a live Supersport television broadcast and also spoke to former Springbok player, sports commentator and author of "Being A Black Springbok", Thando Manana.
