Members of the South African sporting community came together on Tuesday to support the #BlackLivesMatter and #BlackOutTuesday movements on social media.
There has been a global outcry following the death of American George Floyd last week after the 46-year-old suffered a "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression" after being held down by a police officer.
The incident has once again brought racism and police brutality in America into the spotlight and several cities around the country and the world over the last couple of days have seen protests take place.
In South Africa, sports stars have taken to social media to lend their voices to the conversation.
