During an emotionally charged session on Thursday, former Proteas spinner Paul Adams told Cricket South Africa's Social Justice and Nation-building (SJN) hearings about three incidents of alleged racism he experienced in South African cricket.
Testifying under oath at the transformation hearings, chaired by advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza, he claimed:
"I was called 'brown shit' and it often used to be a song after we won a game and it would be sung in fines meetings. They would sing: 'Brown shit in the ring tra-la-la-la,'" he alleged.
