Rugby industry stakeholders have confirmed pay cuts and other economies to slice up to R1.2bn from the sport’s budget by the end of the year. The plan was collectively designed and concluded by organisations representing SA Rugby, provincial unions, players and rugby industry employees. Thursday, 14 May at midnight was the cut off for individuals who wished to cancel their current contracts under the plan. The economies will be achieved by reduced expenditure following the cancellation of competitions (49.7 percent of savings), cuts in other operational budgets (37.3 percent) and in salary reductions (13 percent). The plan was formulated and agreed by bodies representing SA Rugby, MyPlayers (the players’ representative organisation), Sport Employees’ Unite (employees’ trade union) and the South African Rugby Employers’ Organisation (SAREO – representing the provincial unions). The salary cuts amount to 25 percent of total remuneration across the industry, including all employees, players and officials although persons earning below R20 000 per month have been exempted from any cuts. Higher earners have agreed to cuts on a sliding scale of up to 43 percent. “It was a complex process to find alignment with a number of entities representing 1 396 people in the South African rugby industry but throughout everyone collaborated fully,” said Jurie Roux, SA Rugby CEO. “The group identified our collective areas of financial risk and what savings had to be made and then identified a plan to mitigate those risks. “It has meant salary cuts for many, but we have put together a plan that will ensure the industry will be positioned and resourced to get straight back to action just as soon as we are permitted.” Roux said that the focus of the sport had now shifted to those return-to-play plans. “From the moment we went into lockdown we have been preparing and workshopping internal guidelines and protocols for return to play and return to work,” said Roux. “Those are complete and are ready to be actioned as soon as we get Government’s go-ahead. “We have presented our case to the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture and believe we have a strong case. “We do not run hospitals or build ventilators and we are not an industry that is critical to the South African economy; but we do believe that we add huge value to national life in other ways. “The sight of the Springboks running out for the first time since winning the Rugby World Cup would be a powerful milestone on the nation’s journey to the other side of this crisis as well as being a boost for national morale. “While the return to play of our provincial teams – even if it is behind closed doors – would similarly be hugely beneficial to a nation in lockdown. “We understand that there are bigger agendas at play but believe the risk of transmission could be well managed by our protocols. We trust the minister and Government will view our case seriously.” The Industry Savings Plan came into effect on 1 May and is scheduled to run until the end of December in the first instance.

Nee ek dink die deadline was middernag gister, so as daar nog was sou hulle dit saam met die ander name aankondig. Daar was gerugte dat Jantjies ook sou gaan, maar lyk my hulle het hom omgepraat om te bly.

Ek sien hulle se op metwerk 24 by swys se seun se berig dat kwagga gaan ook in japan speel so hy kom nie terug leeus toe nie en Andries Coetzee gaan ook in Japan speel weet nie of dit weer net spekelasie is nie hulle se dit asof dit klaar gebeur het. Ek verstaan net nie dat ons die meeste spelers verloor met die 21dae ding nie en ek het gedink ons gaan die minste spelers verloor daar is seker maar baie aspekte om in ag te neem
