Newlands Protest One Ball Walkout Against Apartheid

On this day at Newlands, cricket took a backseat as South African players made a powerful stand against apartheid. After just one ball, the team walked off the field in protest, marking a historic moment where sport intersected with politics and human rights. This incident remains a symbol of courage, resistance, and the role of athletes in challenging injustice during one of the darkest periods in South Africa’s history.
