Thelo Wakefield has been named acting president of the WPRFU following the resignation of Tobie Titus.
It was announced last week that Titus would step down as president of Western Province to take up his position as a member of the Executive Council of Saru.
WP released a statement on Tuesday confirming that Wakefield will now immediately assume the role of acting president and take over all responsibilities to the position.

“The clubs decided that enough is
enough and the current state of
affairs cannot be tolerated,” says
Wakefield.
“There are 95 clubs in WP who are
predominantly made up of players
of colour. The clubs decided that
the current situation is
unacceptable. They are unhappy
that players of colour are deemed
good enough to play at junior age
group levels, but are not given
enough opportunities to prove
themselves at Currie Cup and
Super Rugby level.”
Wakefield says that he will work
his fingers to the bone so that the
criticism over the composition of
the team does not fall on deaf
ears.
“I have an appointment with WP
coach Allister Coetzee on Monday
where he will have to explain the
current state of affairs.
“There is also a document
compiled by the clubs that I sent to
the CEO of WP Rugby Rob Wagner.
I want to discuss the matter with
both of them and if they don’t want
to listen, they will have to be
prepared to take the criticism,” he
warned.
The WP Currie Cup side that beat
the Blue Bulls 35-7 on Saturday
included only three players of
colour, Conrad Jantjes, Siya Kolisi
and Hilton Lobberts in the starting
line-up, while Marcel Brache and
Berton Klaasen were included on
the bench.
“I worked out that since the start
of this year’s Currie Cup campaign
the WP side only included on
average only 22% players of
colour.
“I am not going to prescribe to the
coach who he has to pick in the
side, but I will lie if I say I am
satisfied with the current situation.
