Alexander retains his position as SARU president
CAPE TOWN – Mark Alexander was on Friday re-elected as the president of SA Rugby at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Cape Town.
Alexander took over the role in 2016 after Oregan Hoskins stepped down after a decade at the top.
There were two candidates for SA Rugby's top job - with Leopards Rugby Union president Andre May Alexander's only opposition.
Francois Davids also retained his position as deputy president of SA Rugby, beating Dr Jan Marais – who was the SA Rugby chairman before the organisation restructured in 2011 - in the two-horse race.
Lindsay Mould from the Free State and Pumas boss Hein Mentz were voted into the two vacant SA Rugby Executive Council positions.
They defeated Vivian Lottering (incumbent – Valke), Schalk Liebenberg (KZN), Arthob Petersen (Boland), JJ van der Mescht (Blue Bulls) and Thelo Wakefield (WP) in the process.
