This coming weekend SARLA will be out and about across the country, not only with our Vuka Rugby matches at 11 rugby unions, but two special appearances in KZN and the Western Cape.
Our first stop this weekend is in Mossel Bay on Friday May 26 where we will be holding a rugby clinic for the Mossel Bay Vuka rugby school teams and an evening fundraising gala dinner for the Mossel Bay Rugby Club as well as our Vuka programme in this region.
Supported by the SWD Union, the clinic will be held at the D’Almedia Sports grounds and the young players will have the benefit of a collective 57 years of Springbok rugby experience as they legends focus on skills development at the clinic.
78 year old Mannetjies Roux, who debuted for the Boks in 1960, will be on the sidelines offering his advice along with former Boks Helgard Muller, Dale Santon. Kabamba Floors (who hails from Oudsthoorn) and World Rugby Hall of Fame inductee, arguably SA’s greatest centre, Danie Gerber.
Later that evening they will be joined at the gala dinner at the Mossel Bay Civic Centre by 2007 Rugby World Cup winner Johann Muller, who is now based in the region working on his family farm.

The focus of the evening will be on our legendary centres in “The Evening of The Centres”. Centre stage will be three of our legends in that position - Mannetjies, Danie and Helgard who will share their rugby stories from the different decades that they have played in the sport.
They will also encourage guests to support the auction of rugby memorabilia with all the funds raised going towards the Helitac Mossel Bay Rugby club and Vuka rugby.
Back in Durban, SARLA CEO Stefan Terblanche will lead a field of legends and other sporting celebs to support cricket legend Mike Proctor’s annual SAPS Widows and Orphans Golf Day at Mount Edgcombe Country Club.
