Seems an odd choice to me. He doesn't really have that leadership 'aura' about him that guys like Fleming, Flintoff and Irani have. Might be a bit contraversial, but maybe the fact that there has never been a black captain attributed to him getting the job., but I really hope not.
Candidates to lead South Africa:
Gibbs - not the best leader and not in great form so doesn't need the pressure.
Kallis - unlike England, S Africa know not to overburden their star allrounder.
Boucher - possible, but has struggled when standing in in the past.
Pollock - failed miserably when he did it full time and is struggling for form as well.
De Villiers - future captain, but even less experienced than Prince.
Prince is the right choice, it's got nothing to do with any form of discrimination.
