💨 Abstract

Former Proteas cricketer Makhaya Ntini, the first black South African Test cricketer, faced racism and discrimination within the squad. His son, Thando, revealed that Makhaya felt excluded and constantly fought for his place. Makhaya himself spoke about being lonely and snubbed by white teammates, leading him to avoid team activities. The resurfacing of these accounts sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the treatment Ntini endured.
