.WP_RUGBY chairman Ebrahim Rasool has slammed union’s president Zelt Marais, saying he fears ’megalomania by someone who already has centralised all power in his person’. WesternProvinceRugby | IOLsport
Marais, however, requested an amendment to WP/SARU notice that was to be sent out and when that was refused, he didn’t send info with the meeting pack. Instead, Rasool later admitted to sending it out, which set Marais on the warpath with the chair.
“Sadly, it is in the last two months, when WP Rugby was exposed to mortal danger, that it became clear to us that our management plan was no longer working.“The letter from the SARU-WP Advisory Committee was a mandated letter based on the decision to support the settlement deal that was agreed to by all in a vote, including Mr Marais!
When Board members started resigning, equity deals failed, players threatened to leave, and extraordinary persuasion was needed to keep sponsors on our side, I realized that the reality confronting me was different from what I had expected. It did not make things easy when I further realized that the President of WPRFU was central to everything that was happening.
A press interview by the President with Rugby365 resulted in us having to apologise unconditionally to former directors I THEN INDICATED TO THE MEETING THAT, BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT HAD BURNT HIS BRIDGES WITH BOTH FLYT AND DR ROUX, I WAS GOING, IN THE INTEREST OF WP RUGBY, TO ATTEMPT TO FIND A SETTLEMENT WITH FLYT BY ACTIVATING DISCUSSIONS WITH DR ROUX. It is important that not a single person in the room opposed this declaration.Firstly, they hold our title deeds. Without title deeds no development can happen, not even on the 3% block share transaction of the Sports Science Institute.
