Gina Rinehart withdraws $15million Diamonds sponsorship after Netball team raised concerns

Gina Rinehart has withdrawn her $15 million sponsorship of the Diamonds after the national netball team expressed reservations about the agreement.

Initially, the controversy was attributed to the players’ environmental worries regarding their sponsorship by Ms. Rinehart’s mining company, Hancock Prospecting.

But there is a deeper tale behind the apparent friction, which dates back nearly four decades to what Ms. Rinehart’s father, Lang Hancock, remarked about “the Aboriginal problem.”

Mr. Hancock made a terrible statement against Indigenous Australians in a 1984 television appearance, which has become a concern for the Diamonds, particularly Aboriginal squad member Donnell Wallam.

Hancock Prospecting announced in a statement that it had opted to terminate its sponsorship agreement.

Contrary to media claims, Hancock Prospecting has not demanded that its name be worn by the Australian Diamonds in the current Constellation Cup series when playing abroad, the business stated.

“Hancock and Roy Hill does not want to contribute to Netball’s discord, hence Hancock has informed the governing body that it is withdrawing from its intended cooperation effective immediately.”

  7. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
