Tendai Mtawarira is the BEAST.
His unfortunate nickname is because of the aggressive way he plays rugby – not his looks.
He’s 24 years old, Zimbabwean and a fantastic rugby player (in my opinion).
His crime seems to be playing for the South African Springboks. Some politicians have serious problems with that.
In fact they want him dropped from the Springboks because he is a “kwerekwere” – a foreigner.
Some like Butana Komphela, chairman of the South African national assembly sports committee, want him thrown out of South Africa and deported to Zimbabwe.
Is this fair?
Emmanuel Adebayor is from Togo, plays for Manchester City in the United Kingdom BUT he does not play for England national team.
Michael Essien is Ghanaian, plays for Chelsea in the United Kingdom and he does not play for the English national side.
So why should Beast be treated differently?
