I could not disagree more regarding the article by Mahlatse Mphahlele concerning Quinton de Kock and his refusal to “take the knee” in support of the Black Lives Matter movement (“Why I think Quinny has made a mistake,” October 27).
Apart from the fact that Cricket SA appears again to have botched the whole subject, all lives matter. If your columnist doesn’t understand, that includes blacks.
