FNB Unam’s chances of reaching the semifinals of the Rugby Premier League suffered a big blow when they lost 48-24 to FNB Wanderers on Saturday in a match that was soured by a racial incident.
A spectator was asked to leave Wanderers’ premises after racially abusing a linesman Dan Sule, who later condemned the incident on his Facebook page, under the headline: “Racism has no place in our Namibian rugby leagues!”
“Today I had the unfortunate situation of being a victim of racial abuse by an old man who ought to respect his age and the people he was around.
To be openly racially abusing a black senior referee in public and tainting an otherwise brilliant game of rugby between Wanderers and Unam rugby clubs is very sad.
“There are things I can take but not that type of discrimination. And for many fans, players and coaches who know me; they know I am one of the most level-headed people you can meet around.
