Lame excuse dude. Are you saying the Olympics are sports that don't matter. One measly silver medal. Shame!!
We have millions of people who go to bed hungry every night in their shacks, so you can see why paying girls to prance around with hoola hoops etc. isn't high on our priority list.
Most of our sports budget goes to the sports were are proven to be world leaders in and which has a big supporter base: Cricket, Rugby and Football.
The rest of these 'sports' don't get money and this reflects in the medals table at the olympics... Money talks.
438!

I also think it was 2-1 victories in victories this year in the Tri nations though you flogged us hard in the last game.
Also if the government of the day didnt spend an awful lot cash on nuclear weapons and a missile program a lot of those poor buggers would have been fed.
(All nukes and atomic missile programs stopped at the end of apartheid and is the only country to voluntarily do so in the world.)
Nice hand grenade into the room and exit stage left Seitse!
Just watching them dance for pimp daddy huh?

Anyway, I wasn't saying we always beat you guys, as we obviously don't. We always know it's going to be a good tussle and we win enough of them to keep me happy at least.
Apartheid definitely also put our sport back at least 50 years.
We have had awesome black athletes just fall through the cracks as government tries to keep everyone fed with roofs over their heads and basic services. Once money gets spent on grassroots development from school level up you will see the sporting talent hidden under the SA population.
Just give us about 50 years...
