Which rights group sought Watson's exclusion from rugby?

  • Afrikanerbond

  • Human Rights Foundation

  • Sports Equality Initiative

  • UNESCO

Answer

Afrikanerbond, a prominent rights group in South Africa, spearheaded efforts to exclude Charles Watson from participating in rugby. Their objection stemmed from Watson's status as a non-white player during the apartheid era, which promoted racial segregation and limited opportunities for individuals based on their race. The Afrikanerbond's stance reflected the prevailing racial discrimination prevalent in South African society at that time.
