Cape Town – WP Rugby announced Thursday that an independent investigation has revealed no form of discrimination or unfair labor practices related to Stormers' badistant coach's complaints Paul Treu.
The union said it received the detailed final report from the Bowmans law firm, which made no negative or negative conclusion against the officials, coaches and staff of WP Rugby.
The investigation followed Treu's exit from a Stormers season test meeting earlier this year. He reportedly said he was "tired of being badly treated" and that he was "not going to take it anymore".
CEO of WP Rugby Group Paul Zacks Thursday, stressed that the union was committed to transformation and good governance, and examined these allegations with extreme gravity.
"After a thorough investigation process in which 29 badociates were interviewed and many documents reviewed in this case, we are pleased that the independent investigation concluded that the allegations were baseless," said Zacks.
Zacks added that WP Rugby's transformation record was a source of pride.
"We are eager to leave this issue behind us now so we can continue to strive to exceed all the transformation goals outlined in SA Rugby's strategic transformation plan," said Zacks.
According to the latest update of SA Rugby's strategic transformation plan, the results achieved by WP Rugby over the last two years put them at the forefront of the transformation of South African rugby.
In the 2017 and 2018 Super Rugby seasons, the Stormers have been more transformed than any other South African franchise, while the same goes for the Western Province at the 2017 and 2018 Currie Cups.
In addition to this, teams from the under-19 and under-21 West provinces and all age group teams are also leading the way in their respective tournaments in terms of transformation. In SA Rugby's recent report, it was found that WP Rugby exceeded SARU's transformation goals in all men's and women's, provincial and senior competitions as well as in the SANZAAR competitions in 2017 and 2018.
WP Rugby also achieved off-the-field conversion goals, with significant representation from coaches, team management, referees, breeders, board members and administrative staff.
"Despite the favorable findings of the independent investigation in the Paul Treu case and the pleasing results of the recent Rugby report on transformation, we can not rest on our laurels and will continue to work towards to proactively improve transformation within the union while ensuring: Rugby is a sport for all, "added Zacks.
