EASTERN PROVINCE SELECTION ROW EXPOSES DEEP DIVIDE OVER TRANSFORMATION IN SCHOOLS RUGBY

A selection controversy has erupted in Eastern Province schools rugby, after EP Rugby Union President George Malgas intervened in the naming of three provincial school squads — overruling merit-based selections in favour of greater representation from rural and disadvantaged communities.

GEORGE KUSCHE: THE MILER WHO REWROTE COMRADES HISTORY AND ANNOUNCED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD

George Kusche crossed the line outside Hollywoodbets Scottsville Racecourse in Pietermaritzburg with his arms doing more talking than his legs had any right to after 85.77 kilometres. The clock read 5:15:56. Nobody in the history of the Comrades Marathon had ever run the Up Run faster. He didn't just win. He demolished an 18-year-old record. Leonid Shvetsov's mark of 5:24:49, set back in 2008, had stood...

  • 🇿🇦 SIX NEW NAMES IN RASSIE’S 2026 NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAD ANNOUNCED 🏉

  • 🇿🇦 AIMEE CANNY SHATTERS TWO SOUTH AFRICAN RECORDS IN ONE NIGHT IN INDIANAPOLIS 🌊

Aimee Canny touched the wall in Indianapolis on Wednesday morning and looked up at a time she already knew by heart. 1:56.59. Her own African record in the 200m freestyle, broken for the third time, the second time in two months alone.

It barely registered as news anymore. What she did with it that evening did.

Hours later, with that brand new record still hers to defend in the final, Canny scratched the race. She walked away from an event she had just claimed the right to dominate, choosing instead to chase a different kind of history in the 200m individual medley...
