Personally, I believe that the groups which campaigned against the tour during the Hamilton match (July 25 1981) had the right to do so. The manner in which they acted (leading to the abortion of the match) wasn't anything to get too wound up over when you appreciate the hard work that they put into organising the demonstration; aswell as the calibre of what they were doing. The display of disloyalty and disgust towards the 'exotic' and unjust mechanics of South Africa's Aparthied regime is something which they (In my opinion) were entitled to as citizens of a Democratic Nation; where we do not encourage nor support such acts of discrimination.
What I believe to have been very unfortunate regarding the 1981 cancelled Hamilton match, was the bitter response the protestors were given by the fans 'supporting' the tour. Binoculars, can's, shoes and fists were among what were thrown at them by the furious crowd. Totally uncalled for if you ask me.
I am your biggest fan and i completely agree xox
