DA calls on SARU to fund deaf rugby event

Cape Town - The Democratic Alliance has called on the South African Rugby Union to release funds for a deaf rugby tournament later this year.

The South African Deaf Rugby Union, which is a formal affiliate of SARU, needs R575 000 to host  defending world champions, Wales, for a two-game tour, in August this year.

The DA has called on SARU president Oregon Hoskins to work with the SA Deaf Rugby Union to provide the required funding so that the tournament can go ahead.
