Jacques Kallis Has Just Walked Straight Into A Black Twitter Shitstorm

National cricket hero Jacques Kallis isn't proving very popular on Twitter right now, one tweet causing some serious backlash.

When Fikile Mbalula announced his decision to suspend certain sports’ bidding rights he also sent out a tweet – naturally, the man may be the most active user in southern Africa.

News24 also sent out a tweet covering the basics of the story, and it is here that Jacques Kallis replied with the tweet that started it all:

Now many rallied behind the cricketer, although others called him out big time. Here are some replies to his tweet:

Twitter wasn’t done with him yet either – these below from eNCA:

Allan Donald also waded in with his thoughts, although he has since deleted his tweet in the face of the backlash:
