New SASRA Leadership

Mr Mark Alexander, President of SA Rugby, thanked the outgoing leadership of the SA Schools Rugby Association and congratulated the new Executive Committee and selectors, who were elected at their Annual General Meeting in Durbanville on Monday.

KwaZulu-Natal’s Noël Ingle’s term as chairperson has come to an end after 10 years, with Kervin Grove from Western Province, the former secretary, elected to take over from Ingle at the meeting held at Hoërskool Durbanville.

The two vice chairpersons from the last term were re-elected on Monday. They are Katiso Mosioua (Border, high schools) and Granville Josephs (Boland, primary schools).

At the 2024 SA Rugby Awards earlier this year, SASRA was named as the Associate Member of the Year.

“Noël’s final meeting as Chairperson was not merely a farewell – it is a celebration of a legacy defined by passion, integrity and an unwavering commitment to the development of young rugby talent across our nation,” said Mr Alexander.

“For decades, he has been a guiding force behind the growth and transformation of school rugby, nurturing generations of players, coaches and administrators with wisdom and care.

“Under his stewardship, SASRA has flourished as a cornerstone of South African rugby, fostering excellence, inclusivity and opportunity in every province and community. His leadership has been marked by tireless advocacy for youth development, strategic collaboration with schools and unions and a deep belief in rugby’s power to unite and uplift.

“We would like to extend our deepest gratitude and admiration to Noël, for your outstanding service and unwavering dedication to school rugby in our country. Your legacy will endure not only in the structures you helped build, but in the lives you’ve shaped and the spirit you’ve inspired. You leave behind a game stronger, fairer and more hopeful because of your service.

“At the same time, I would like to congratulate Kervin, Katiso and Granville on their elections and wish them all the best for their terms. They have big boots to fill, but we have all the faith in them and the rest of the Exco that they will build on the success created by their predecessors.”
