  • Mngxitama said it was a legal principle that when someone is under investigation it would not be business as usual.

The article discusses Andile Mngxitama, the leader of Black First Land First (BLF), who has warned that there will be "no business as usual" for former Springbok rugby player Faf du Plessis. Mngxitama's warning comes in response to Du Plessis's comments on the Springboks' role in uniting South Africans, which Mngxitama interprets as an attempt to undermine the ongoing land expropriation without compensation debate. Mngxitama accuses Du Plessis of promoting a narrative that distracts from the critical issue of land reform, suggesting that the focus on rugby and national unity is a tactic to maintain the status quo and prevent meaningful land redistribution to black South Africans. He emphasizes that the struggle for land is paramount and will not be sidelined by sports or other distractions.
