Yes I know this thread has ended....but I wish end it on a positive.
This topic is very hot in South Africa, because the fans (100% true) want to see more white players competing in the PSL. They say the North remembers, but the humble South African fan will always remember their heroes. Ask any Kaizer Chiefs fan about Shane McGregor or Neil Tovey and you best be prepared to listen to stories for an hour. Take a look at a few headline in South African media about this issue:

You will notice that the media keep asking white players in the PSL this question to gain a better insight to this issue. South Africa fans understand that the more white players we have in the PSL, the better their local teams and the national team will be. We bring a different tool set, mentality and character to a team.
Its a complex issue, but the good news is that we are seeing more players in the 1st team and reserve teams.
In a strange way, NZ players like Andre de Jong and Jeremy Brockie have helped to show white South Africans that if you good enough you will play. South African fans will continue to hold football Administrator, club bosses and coaches feet to the fire and demand to see more white South Africans play the beautiful game
