Exclusive: Heritier Lumumba gave Scott Pendlebury permission to use nickname at centre of racism claims – Fox Sports
Disgruntled Collingwood premiership player Heritier Lumumba gave permission for Scott Pendlebury to call him ‘Chimp’.

It is unclear whether Lumumba may have allowed Pendlebury – and potentially other teammates to use the nickname in a bid to fit in and cope with what he now says was a culture festered with discrimination.
