Good news at last for troubled rugby in the Eastern Cape – a confirmed Indaba called “The Scrumdown” which is endorsed by all rugby structures and stakeholders, including South African Rugby, the three Eastern Cape Unions and the provincial government structures.
The Indaba follows a period of turbulence ranging from leadership battles, financial problems, to home-bred stars being attracted to other unions and dwindling spectator numbers at key venues.
The objective of the Indaba, say organizers, is to formulate a blueprint to revive and develop rugby in the Eastern Cape and to ensure that it is run in accordance with good governance principles and practice. Role players expect the Indaba to give rise to a renaissance for rugby in the region, which will set the tone for the country’s transformation in rugby.
The “Scrumdown” Indaba will be all-inclusive, with representatives from national, provincial and local government, community and business leaders, rugby administrators, Union officials and representatives involved in developmental initiatives at schools, rural and regional rugby level.
