De Villiers explained: "It's a difficult one. I myself did not understand the Black Lives Matter movement well. I talked to the guys in the team to try to understand. There are probably a lot of people who are angry about the movement, but a plan has been put in place."
The superstar batsman further explained to Martin Bester: "The gates have been opened to support quite a few things in the future. There are many problems in our country that we need to address, and I feel our cricket players have a big role to play in making people aware of our problems."
