Breaking Point - Ashwin Willemse in his own words 

Nothing to do with dignity, only your ego... Why not just prepare and do the job that you are paid for, instead of riding the gravy train and other people should carry you?

Just another "moment in time" where Ashwin talks rubbish...

Nothing to see here regarding race. Purely Willemse's lack of ability as a sports presenter. Take a seat now please.

He is still talking rubbish, can’t make head or tail of what he’s trying to say. What a total doos.

No wonder nick wrote that email to the producers, I battled to watch him talking kak for 3 mins let alone have to work with him.

Those books in the background has as much meaning to him as his arguments had for his case

Breaking point of his own thoughts and feelings. He seriously needs to go for the counseling he was offered..

Nobody can "steal or take your dignity" but you, my friend, threw your dignity out the window. Now take that chip off your shoulder - just because some people think that you are crap at your job doesn't mean that they are racist. Maybe, just maybe, you ARE actually crap at your job!

Ashwin, did you prepare for this interview? Already a step-up from your work at SuperSport :)

The Sarks muss poes in the scrum.

You are being very vague, you need to be specific here: How exactly was your dignity infringed upon? Do you have any evidence of this? An e-mail does not, by default, make a person guilty. Just because someone doesn't want to work with you, does not make him/her a racist. And lastly, welcome to the real world, it is not a crime if the manager or colleagues do not share that information with you.

Is the interview done in a library to make him appear more intelligent?

Quota presenter

Using big words won't change you being unprofessional

Thank you for walking of stage. You did the best thing ever!! Therefore would you surely NOT be missed

I hope Naas, Nick, Ashwin and the audience can get pass this.

You've made your name 'gat' dude. Just because Nick Mallet wrote an email about you it doesn't constitute racism. You have a serious chip on your shoulder. Time to climb down from that miff tree.

Crybaby. He doesn't have any dignity in the first place. Out of tact, courtesy and maintaining workplace harmony people don't openly call you a jerk, even if they think it privately.

Is this guy on drugs?

In who’s office did you record this Ashwin?

Just because opinions were formed doesn't make them racial. Its a professional studio.

What and how did the HRC rule in the matter?

A moment in time ? … maybe he can explain to us what he means by this in his own words? Living in his own little world.

He never prepared for any of his work on Supersport hence the Tension He was an entitled quota player as simple as that He thought he never had to do any work ENTITLEMENT AT IT BEST He is yesterdays news

This is so cringe. My word, he tries so hard to come across as if he knows what he’s talking about 😂🙈

He must be regretting what he did whereever he is now.

What were you trying to say Ashwin

Why is this dude still trying to be relevant? You ruined your reputation. You acted like a pissy so deal with the consequences.

Ashwin deserves counseling.

Grow up Ashwin, Time to man up. I used to respect you. That respect has now gone. With time you will be forgotten. You do talk rubbish! Nick does not like you, has nothing to do with your colour of your skin but who you are as an individual. I don't like you either anymore, purely on the way you have conducted yourself. So does that make me a racist?

Should stop taking those smoke breaks and watch the game dummy. You stomped on your own dignity big boy.

I choose Willemse's side on this because he is the younger man with better comprehension of human dignity, unlike the grey dudes. Folks should now know, ons fokken skel terug al is die bek besig om weg te kruip agter dasse !

Hy was maar eintlik ń useless agterspeler en glad nie so goed nie. Kan aan Baie Beter spelers dink is sy era in sy posisie wat hom ore aangesit het.

the token has spoken !

Boo Hoo! Toughen up boytjie...Thats life, having to deal with adversity in the workplace.

Aaai tog Ashwin. Hopelik het jy nou oor hierdie gekom. Kon julle nie rondom n tafel gesit het en dit uitgewerk het nie. Nie een van julle het goed gelyk nie daai dag nie.

Ag jy is n SUURGAT... DUS AL... WORD GROOT..

A very complicated situation. As far as Ash is concerned, I think I can understand his frustration as this is something that must have brewed inside of him for a very long time. Eventually, it boiled over in an unfortunate setting. As for Naas and Nick, I say with all due respect very subtle remarks can hurt big time, no matter how innocent it may be to you as an individual. Remarks should not be made at all in that setup. I always maintain there are nice ways and not-so-nice ways to say things if you do not agree with the other party. Naas and Nick might have innocently expressed their views less sensitive but for Ash unfortunately it was the last straw. As an example:" You do not know what you are talking about" Why not rather say " I hear you but must disagree because.......'

What a little cry baby.

Ashwin jy het jou naam gat gemaak. Daai tjip op jou skouer het net te groot geword.

Most people live in an echo chamber. There was and is no free speech in South Africa and this is witnessed by Afriforum and all their cases. If all the facts were put on the table honestly without political correctness, guilt would cloud a certain part of society. Fragility does not allow this to happen. I would have walked out as Ashwin did, regardless of the fact that this job might not have been cut out for him. These issues happened in apartheid and are perpetuated until today in a fragmented way that no collective can be seen, but voice is given to this in a common echo chamber to know that this behaviour is still common.

Lookin thin hehe

Grootste rasis

The hate over here is crazy hey 🙈 no matter what you think of the person or how he does his job. He was told that he was a quarter player by former players that played in the apartheid regime. Y’all should be ashamed mahn jesus. It really shows we’re we really are as a country.

Entitlement comes to mind...🙄

Dignity, you know nothing about. I think after this interview and years later, Naas and Nick did nothing wrong, shows you definately knows nothing about rugby and can just not accept they masters in the game.

Ashwin was not a good analyst and commentator of the game, but I don't think two Apartheid players should ever be given any kind of platform!

Talk a lot of nonsense. He did not know his job and that was the easy way out.

Nick and Naas did nothing bru! You knew nothing of the game you were meant to be analysing between lions and brumbies...worst post match critiquer...Ashwin degraded the dignity of rugby

oh my Vok!!! Build a bridge!!!

Ashwin jys a star.. The truth will set you free.. We all knows how it feels

Jys n rassis

Saaaaaaaarks

Hulle het hom vir n gat gevat. Onophoudelik. Every show it was happening. It is difficult to prove this but I would not have given them the satisfaction of upsetting me. What I would have done is keep quiet and find out where they live.

What an absolute joke,

Joke

They made him look crazy.. its 2020 can we have justice for Willemse now !!!

Nick and NAAS ,SOUNDS LIKE A COMEDY SHOW, they think they know more than you, you played rugby at the highest level , you dont have to back down for those two turkeys!

Ashwin Willemse my hero.. Dare to stand alone

Ash over reacted..............but then again naas has always been a bit of a poess.

You seee this is NOT a racial issue it's a personality issue but the fact that it's between two white men who have similar views on the one black man makes it a racial issue more than it does a personality issue. Simply because white ppl r notorious for having a superiority complex that simply gets to thier heads...with some sort of invisibility & untouchable mindset expecially when it comes to black people. But that's not such a big issue for me because it is universal & widely known, what got to me about this whole thing is how quickly SS got behind the two white men & defended them without a proper investigation...yes perhaps it was not a racial issue but the two white men were far from professionalism that i cancelled my dstv upon the Tuesday when the two black CEO's made that media announcement. It's ridiculous that those two kept their jobs...pathetic!

2023 still don't miss u As(hole)win.
