it should not be happening at least in a developed country like South Africa. It has been a problem for a lot of countries about the Caste system. But I also think that sometimes people take it too far. They think that they are being neglected because they are black but they are not actually being neglected. But that is not mostly the case. I think the selectors are there to judge who plays cricket better, not which color of player plays better.
South Africa is not a developed country they have some serious issues, and recently we watch on media how things are going the worst due to corruption and bad management.
Currently South African biggest issue is corruption after death of Nelson Mandela ANC is completely failure in many cases, so they are also failed to bringing some better way into this cricket if they started some better way from start and bring kids from high schools then surely they don't need this quota or anything related to this for encouraging black players but sadly their leadership have no plane for this and doing quota which never help anyone in all cases now it is badly killing game and having serious issues.
^ I don't understand why kids are not so much interested in cricket there because they have a lot of great players as examples. Kids should see them and dream of being in that position one day. But I think that you'll reason is cricket costs a lot more than football. In football, you just need a ball and you can enjoy the game. But in cricket previously you need bat ball stamps and wicket keeping gloves at least to play the game. This is a big reason why football is also much more popular than cricket.

I beg to differ SA is in a far better position than most South Asian countries. As per my understanding, there are two major problems in SA. The first is corruption and the second one big economic inequality. SA cricket board is the most corrupted board in the world and this has caused the decline in SA cricket.
^That is true because I also think that South Africa is not doing that too bad economy-wise. It's because of the corruption that is happening on the board. Everyone thinks of money but no one thinks of making a good team. Maybe the board needs a full rework and new personnel.

Wherever there is money, automatically it gets to good development or it leads to such a negative side. Often we can see cricket boards having internal problems. In recent days the most corrupt being South Africa and West Indies. There is no racial act, West Indies struggled a lot to get their salaries. Finally senior players moved out of the team. Anyhow this can be organised and made to work flawless only if the government is ready to make a complete change of the management authorities.
^ Yes absolutely because without a complete change of personnel and also applying strict laws about some certain things is not possible to make a good team and have high hopes with it. Both West Indies and South Africa were wild class teams even a few years ago but now they look like history.
