Ngidi happy with Proteas culture camp─── MORGAN PIEK 09:33 Tue, 01 Sep 2020
The Proteas seamer, Lungi Ngidi, is happy that all in the Proteas squad are on the same page following the recent culture camp which was held in the Kruger National Park.
One of the main objectives for the get-together in Skukuza was for the national cricketers to form a new and unique identity, which welcomes anybody regardless of race, religion, or creed.
Ndigi said it’s important for everyone to feel welcome in the setup.
“The updated values system is very relevant to our country and the type of team that we want to build.
“Belonging – everyone needs to feel welcome, empathy and respect – once you understand someone a lot better, you can relate and conversate and have open discussions (with them), so these new value systems are very important, and in the end, we felt that these are what we are going to use moving forward.
“With South Africa being such a diverse nation, we actually found that it’s one of our strengths and why we’re such a resilient team.”
Recently Ngidi came under heavy criticism for answering a question posed to him by a journalist regarding Black Lives Matter.
