- Description
The cartoon shows an ostrich with its head buried in the sand, and wearing a rugby fern emblem. Text reads 'Following the South African apology to Maori Rugby the NZRFU are looking into doing the same'. In a second version the ostrich has the letters 'NZRFU' (New Zealand Rugby Football Union) as well as the fern symbol printed it says 'We're looking into it'. Also the second half of the text is left out 'the NZRFU are looking into doing the same'. Refers to the news that South Africa's sport and recreation minister, the Rev Makhenkesi Arnold Stofile, has officially apologised to Maori players left out of All Blacks tours to the republic in 1928, 1949 and 1960 because of their race. Nearly a week later simultaneous apologies by New Zealand and South African unions were released following months of growing pressure to put the apartheid question behind them. New Zealand rugby authorities left indigenous Maori players out of three tours to South Africa in 1928, 1949 and 1960, while South Africa's white regime did not pick black players for the Springboks as part of its separatist policies.
