It is not what I expected

17-year-old boys passion is put on hold
for 3 years

Referee Chris de Beer (37), a member of the Blue Bulls Rugby Referee’s Society resigned from the society because he was unhappy about the outcomes of the charges he laid against a 17-year-old schoolboy who head-butted him at a rugby match. The Hans Strijdom High School boy from Limpopo Province (South Africa) is suspended for three years from anything that has to do with rugby.

Clearly that is not what Chris de Beer expected. His resignation from the BBRR’s shows his pettiness for the boy because he thought that the matter would be handled in a more lenient way.

His humiliation in front of the crowd might have been the reason why he went to the nearest police station and laid charges. For the fact that he laid charges at a police station made an expectation of the police being the ones handling the matter.

Do you think that the referee has all it takes to feel bad about the actions he took against the boy?

Are there better ways the on how the matter could have been handled?

Natalie du Toit should explain herself

                                                                 South African Paralympic swimmer Natalie du Toit  may not make it

                                                                                 for the 2012 London Paralympic Games 2012 .

 

Natalie du Toit (Olympic swimmer) may not make it for the 2012 London Paralympic Games, reports one of South Africans daily newspapers www.iol.co.za.

The paper explains how and why she is disqualified and she might appear to have not explained herself, especially to her fans and future investors.

How can we as PRP’s come up with a better suggestion of a platform where she can communicate more effective with her fan base?

v Well I have an answer for that; please do assist me if I’m wrong.

Natalie du Toit can use a blog to have an effective communication with the public.    

A blog is a personal website or web page on which an individual records opinions, links to other sites, etc. on a regular basis www.oxforddictionaries.com .

Poverty strikes us in many ways

SA retired soccer player are not doing well

The president of SAFPU, Hareipha ‘Simba’ Marumo asks we support retired soccer player.

“70percent of our retired players are living in extreme poverty”.

“The same players, who have been an inspiration and a symbol of unity to our nation, are today the subject of mockery and ridicule because just two years after retiring many of them are completely broke and have no skills to speak of to sustain their lives,” continued Marumo.

Marumo called on the PSL and the South African Football Association to help these players, whose situation is contributed to by a number of social factors, such as a lack of education and problems with alcohol abuse.

       Prevention is better than cure

South African Football Association would do with some advice, from a PRP, on how to come up with solid ways of securing better lives for retiring soccer players.


South African Football Association could have long initiated ways that will back up the lives of retiring soccer players, to avoid problems.
