CAPE TOWN. South Africans have begged the media not to show them the alleged sex tape featuring Springbok rugby coach Peter De Villiers, and human rights groups fear that millions of citizens could be "deeply scarred" by seeing footage of "a stocky middle-aged man with a handlebar moustache putting the moves on a woman in the back seat of her station-wagon".
De Villiers has fiercely denied the existence of the alleged tape, and says that the allegations are part of an ongoing campaign by racist elements in South African rugby to remove him from the coaching position.
This morning representatives of a broad range of human rights watch groups agreed that De Villiers' suspicions could not be discounted, but begged racist plotters to be more considerate towards their fellow South Africans.
"If this is a plot by white right-wingers to get rid of De Villiers it's the lowest they've sunk," said human rights lawyer Delilah Samson.
"South Africans are simply not equipped psychologically and emotionally to see Mr De Villiers in the nude," he said.
"Ryk Neethling, yes. Minki van der Westhuizen, yes. Those are racist plots we can deal with. But not this."
