Does proudly South African mean buy South African?

[Chris Moerdyk: @chrismoerdyk] I always find it amusing when a national furore is created by a sporting body's decision to source clothing and equipment overseas. Like our official sports confederation and Olympic Games body, SASCOC, did a few weeks ago when it announced that our Olympic Games kit would be supplied from China. 11 Apr 2012 12:31
