Peter de Villiers deny blackmail allegations
Peter de Villiers and the South African Rugby Union categorically deny that there have ever been any attempts to blackmail or coerce him over the selection of any player to the national squad, as alleged in a report that appeared in Saturday’s Weekender newspaper. However SARU can confirm that a company employee did approach Mr de Villiers on August 15 in Cape Town. The employee made certain extraordinary claims which SARU has since looked into but has been unable to find any basis to support in fact.
The employee was advised on August 25 that he would be called to an internal misconduct hearing, the charge sheet for which is still being prepared.
