SA Rugby president Mark Alexander says they can't suspend their chief executive officer Jurie Roux based on what happened at his previous employer.
SA Rugby president Mark Alexander says their embattled chief executive officer Jurie Roux cannot be suspended because his alleged transgressions at the University of Stellenbosch took place before he joined the organisation. Roux was the director of finance at the university from 2002 to 2010 before moving to SA Rugby in his current capacity, with the allegations of the Stellenbosch issues cropping up in 2013.
Alexander said due processes is being followed, adding that there have been many examples of employees not being suspended in their current jobs for mistakes made elsewhere. "We'll wait for our attorneys to come back to us and we'll follow their advice, because it wouldn't be a normal suspension. "At that point in time, there were no allegations of legal action against him when he was appointed," Alexander said.
