What an achievement!!!

 

Only R15k? Surely not

 

He is the elite cyclist in SA and surely deserves something along the lines of le clos, caster et al?

The problem is with us, we should know better and not expect much from them.

I'm actually surprised he even got R15K,

 

Last I hear most of our swimmer had to pay their own travel/accommodation costs to the world champs (mind you where they are representing SA proudly) because Government did not have funds

That was reversed - at the time the assoc couldnt pay but then the adminstrators realised they could get a nice trip tp Barcelona so they paid up

 

I see it like this - the are professional and these are bonus's like you and I would get in our 9-5. So is Caster and Le Clos (love them) get a R1m a medal (I know olypics) he should have recieved more.

 

R15k might be the cost of hie group set ....

 

Bafana Bafoona got massive bonus just for a scoring a goal let alone winning ......
