Bafana Bafana legend Mark Fish receives criticism after 'All Lives Matter' comments

Former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates defender Mark Fish invited many critical fans for his 'All Lives Matter' comment on Twitter.

The uproar started when Fish liked a tweet that described Springboks captain Siya Kolisi as a BEE appointment, a 'worse' captain and an alleged 'racist'.

Fish, who plied his tried in Italy and England during his playing days, was then asked by one of his followers where he stands on 'Black Lives Matter', and he simply replied 'All Lives Matter'.

His response prompted outrage from his fans and the majority were disappointed Fish had differing views despite experiencing racism and inequality in the past.
