[2] During a meeting of the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation on 20 April 2016, Ralegoma called for the Springbok emblem to be removed from the national rugby team's jersey and for the Protea, which other national sports teams play under, to replace it.
Ralegoma said: "For successful transformation, all national teams must play with a single emblem."
The ANC subsequently distanced themselves from Ralegoma's comments, saying that removing the Springbok is not party policy.
