Western Province Rugby Football Union president Zelt Marais continues to cling on to power but his bigger challenge will be to avert the union's impending financial meltdown.
Marais has pulled off a few Houdini acts over the past few weeks, including attempts at having him removed through a vote of no confidence and being declared a delinquent in court.
A deal has been brokered to ease the immediate pressure on the union, but Marais is opposed to the agreement to make Staytus Cape Ltd the union's new benefactor, which also includes a settlement arrangement with Flyt.This has frustrated Rasool, who accuses Marais of obfuscating his responsibilities as president. “We must distinguish between the WP Rugby Pty board and the union of which I am the president. I'm responsible for clubs and schools,” said Marais.
“We are speaking to a number of interested parties, especially on the equity side. We are definitely in negotiations in terms of the equity. We are shackled at the moment with an agreement that was signed and is [the] subject of discussion.”
