It comes, perhaps, as little surprise that Jurie Roux has left SA Rugby 'like a thief in the night'.
The embattled Roux managed to stay in his job for almost a decade after the university accused him of misappropriating funds.
A forensic investigation uncovered accounting irregularities in the allocation of monies during Roux's time as senior director of finance and chair of the institution's rugby club. The report, released in 2013, stated Roux did not benefit personally from the irregularities. However, it also pointed to manipulation of the institution's accounting system as part of Roux's misdeeds.In December 2021 Roux was ordered to reimburse the university that sum, but on March 3 last year his representatives filed an application in the Western Cape High Court for a review and setting aside of the final arbitration award and that of the Appeal Tribunal against him.
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.
