On Monday, former Springbok player Cobus Wiese posted an apparent letter to parents on X (formerly Twitter) highlighting planned “gender swaps” in South African primary schools.
The letter apparently states that it will be a “normal school day,” but that “girls will wear boys' clothes and boys will wear girls' clothes.”
Wiese commented on the letter with the words “WTF (What The F**k)” and later retweeted a number of angry responses.
Another former Springbok, Ryan Kankowski, also replied to his tweet: “Is this a joke?”
