It is overestimated the ability and want of Fifa or IRB, (or most international sport structures) to interfere in sport structures within countries (pretty much ignored by IRB in SA rugby), they will not interfere in what is a politically tense difficult scenario like SA.
I am not happy about the quota system either, this is very much political pandering. However, CSA are asking for targets that are already being met and they are even allowing flexibility across the 3 formats, so you cold not expect better considering the political scenario. In one of the previous comments it was stated that blacks are not interested in cricket, that is a load of nonsense. Many blacks in SA love cricket but get little chance to actually play.
Now, I`m going to talk politics here...as a white South African I do not like the way I have been treated and/or made to feel. I think that the current ANC elite corruption and cronyism is destroying SA for all South Africans and hope that change happens soon, as there is more important issues than the Proteas cricket team going on in SA. However, whatever we feel, the Springboks and Proteas are symbols of South Africa, and when those symbols still have a majority of white players within the team (regardless of all other problems) 22 years after so called independence, it adds fuel to what is a problematic climate. SA demographics is ~79% black, ~12% coloured(mixed-race) and Asian, and ~8/9% White. I would also like a utopia where colour did not matter, however in SA it matters and nothing short term is going to change it, particularly while their is huge economic inequality and uncertainty.
I agree government could be doing more at a school level, I agree that CSA could be doing more at school and club levels. But (and this will not make me popular) I also accept and have seen that the white majority clubs who have facilities do not try and integrate black players into the club system, and can even make them feel unwelcome. There is little to no facilities in the townships and little help coming, Truth is we as the white population (in general, there is always exception) need to do more, even if it makes our life more difficult, we have to actively go out and help try integrate. And this goes beyond just cricket in SA, and if we do not this country will implode.
But like all people all over the world, it is easier to sit and complain about things and blame everybody else for misfortune, rather than going out and actively try change things for the betterment of everybody in the long run. And I am as guilty of this as anybody.
Having said all this I think that cricket is doing better than rugby (and most other sports) with regards to transformation, I also think that this is not the end of cricket in SA (been hearing that for 20 odd years) and I think SA will continue to produce quality cricketers who will continue to play for SA. I think their needs to be a more active effort to recruit and help back players in SA and maybe just maybe, sooner rather than later these discussions will no longer be necessary.
