PODCAST PLATFORM EPISODE DESCRIPTION
The Springboks keep producing extraordinary performances, but what happens beyond the field may matter just as much. Thabiso Sithole and Morena Mothupi debate Malcolm Marx’s impact, Rassie Erasmus’ selection dilemma, the rising cost of following the Boks and whether South African rugby is making the most of its depth.
The conversation widens into the systems shaping South African sport: SASCOC president Barry Hendricks’ suspension amid allegations, the funding and development of athletes, school-sport pathways, the future of SAFA and a changing
Formula One hierarchy. Beneath the rivalries and results sits a bigger question: does South Africa have the institutions to match the talent it keeps producing?
