Langeveldt makes a statement
Rodney Hartman, in the Star , gives his take on Charl Langelveldt's decision to withdraw himself from South Africa's side for the Test series against India after he was upset over the controversy surrounding the selection of the squad.

Langeveldt's reaction has caught everyone on the wrong foot. He has pulled out of the team, not so much in sympathy with Nel but in protest at the system as a whole.
He did the hardest thing imaginable and turned down the opportunity to play Test cricket for his country. Had he been born 30 years before, Langeveldt would have been denied the chance to represent South Africa because he is black. Now he was selected, because he is black. What irony.
