SA Rugby appoints new administrator to WPRFU
SA Rugby has announced the appointment of Max Fuzani as the new administrator of the Western Province Rugby Football Union.
He succeeds Rian Oberholzer, who was appointed interim CEO of SA Rugby in March, having held the position of administrator at WPRFU since October 2021.
The 56-year-old Fuzani worked in government at national level between 1997 and 2017, most notably in the Department of Education as the Chief Director and Chief of Staff: Ministerial Services and then as a senior special adviser in the Department of Sport and Recreation.
“The major work of the administrator has been completed with a clear pathway to restoring the financial stability of the union and ending the period of administration in sight,” SA Rugby said in a statement on Thursday.
“Mr Fuzani will oversee the final lap of the process by recommending the potential property and equity transactions to the members of Western Province for their approval.”
