So whats wrong is they want to include minimum of 2 black players in each team. In IPL, only 4 foreign players are allowed and rest of the team should be from the Indian nationality. So hows that not being political ?
I wonder what will be the situation if NBA will be following these quota system, as they need to have Asian and Whites rather than a full black team i wonder what the situation will be
. The quota system sucks in sports and it must be according to the skill level, if the board wanted to involve more local players they can come up with a rule to promote young players but to include mandatory according to the race is not that great.
There are provinces in South Africa where blacks are a minority (i.e less than 50% of the population, such as Western Cape and Northern Cape). On top of that, cricket is not very popular among the black Africans, who are more interested in sports such as football and boxing. So the player pool is going to be very small. But still for domestic competitions a certain number of players needs to be black African. This has resulted in many ridiculous circumstances in South African domestic cricket when the teams have fielded players who can neither bowl, nor bat.
The quota system has resulted in many good players migrating to other countries. England is currently home to more than 50 Kolpak players, who have migrated to that country from South Africa (including some very promising players such as Hardus Viljoen and Simon Harmer. The full list can be found here:

And we have seen how the quality of the South African team has gone down over the years... this is the number one reason.
