Semenya wins first 400m

Well spotted. Some of the African reportage leaves a bit to be desired. You can figure out what they mean and you make excuses for the fact that most of the reporters have very little knowledge of this world sport or it’s common language and terminology. But many of the reports I’ve read on the Athletics South Africa situation dating back to the post-Berlin hysteria over Caster were blatant jingoistic nonsense with the reporter falling into line with the Chuene edicts. There was mostly zero commentary to balance the Chuene diatribe, now proven to have been a torrent of lies by his very own admission. Then again what do we know of the pressures on some of these reporters from the more reactionary forces, thugs often enough, from within organisations such as the ANC or in particular here, the ANC Youth whose ludicrous leader counts Chuene among his buddies and manipulates certain former athletes to stir mischief at a time when Athletics South Africa really needs everyone of any intelligence and integrity to pull together for a change. But the old saying is you get the leader you deserve…:rolleyes:
