COSATU Western Cape condemns Rugby Advertising Campaign
4 September 2015
COSATU Western Cape is astounded by the SARU advertising campaign that costs millions of rand, which is unfolding on our TV and media now.
This advertising campaign is typical SARU arrogance, creating the impression that nothing is wrong in rugby, by wasting money on gimmicks to try and fool the nation, whilst we have clearly said there is a crisis. This is clearly a white advertising campaign, which ignores the cries of the black side of Rugby.
If SARU wants to bolster the image of the Rugby game in SA and SARU itself, they should start addressing the problems that gave rise to the outburst across the country now;
- Instead of taking some silly grass to the World Cup, why don’t SARU advertise how it is going to plant grass at black clubs and black schools;
