Pres Mandela’s testimony in SARFU affairs set aside

In providing reasons for the decision of the Pretoria High Court to set the investigation of the Browde Commission into South African Rugby Football Union (SARFU) Affairs aside, Justice William de Villiers said that the evidence of President Nelson Mandela was unsatisfactory because he refused to answer certain questions, answered back and used the court for political rhetoric. The President's Office indicated its intention to appeal against the court's decision, while SARFU boss Dr Louis Luyt announced his own independent investigation into allegations of racism, nepotism and corruption within the rugby body.
