“In terms of Black Lives Matter‚ specifically and the issues [Black Lives Matter‚ farm murders‚ gender-based violence] that are currently on the table‚ I think we need to own up in terms of those conversations and not steer away from them‚” Roux said. Maybe some elements we may need to change‚ especially around the coaches. Rassie Erasmus did present us with the plan around the fast-tracking of black coaches.“If we have to adapt things to help figure things out‚ then we have to do that. What we shouldn’t do is to steer away from the uncomfortable conversations and the things people refer to as the awkward truth. Those are the realities of our lives.
“Maybe some elements we may need to change‚ especially around the coaches. Rassie Erasmus did present us with the plan around the fast-tracking of black coaches‚” Roux said. “In terms of dialogue‚ a process will follow that’ll listen to the concerns, and our executive will advise on what is the way forward within that environment.”
