It comes, perhaps, as little surprise that Jurie Roux has left SA Rugby 'like a thief in the night'.
SA Rugby was at pains to explain its actions would be guided by legal opinion. It argued it was unaware of the allegations against Roux when it recruited him.
The organisation appeared before the parliamentary sports portfolio committee last May and again reiterated its stance that it would follow the letter of the law.It has, however, come under increasing pressure to bring closure to the matter, but Roux was determined to be the architect of his exit. He is a skilled accountant and capable administrator who was valued in the organisation. He also wielded vast influence, which perhaps explains why he was able to stay in his position for as long as he did.
Roux is rumoured to have repositioned himself so he can maintain close ties with SA Rugby, which is concluding a deal with private equity firm CVC Capital Partners.
