South Africans divided over Olympic swimmer’s switch to Netherlands

I've decided to swim for the Netherlands. Thank you very much. Thank you. Such treachery and allegiance is disrupting our national cohesion and unity. I know that not everyone will understand or agree with my decision. I could spend hours trying to explain it, justify it or convince everyone why I made this choice. But at the end of the day, this is a decision I've had to make for myself and my future. Everybody funds athletes once they trend, we'll keep losing the ones who don't. You'll continue to be part of this journey with me, even if it means occasionally swapping the green and gold for a little orange.
