SA Rugby has advised the Eastern Province Rugby Union (EPRU) to heed its earlier advice and hold a special general meeting (SGM) within 21 days to elect union office bearers.
SA Rugby wrote to the Union on Monday to reaffirm its position following a court order on 4 June which set aside the election of Gerald Antonie and Roger Serfontein as president and deputy president respectively of the EPRU.
The effect of the court order is to make vacant the positions of president, deputy president and chairperson of coaching and development at the Union.
The EPRU disregarded SA Rugby’s advice on due process in February and the election of Antonie and Serfontein took place as an adjunct to the Annual Meeting.
The union has been urged to revert to the original process. SA Rugby has also offered to support the process by acting as a scrutineer in the event that the advice is taken.
