Varsity Cup remains on ice

By
Tuesday 1 Mar 2016

The extension has been implemented to allow universities across the country the opportunity to address various challenges faced at their respective campuses.

This follows riots which erupted in Bloemfontein on February 22 - after protesting workers disrupted the game between the University of the Free State (Shimlas) and the Nelson Mandela Metropole University (Madibaz) by moving onto the pitch.

"The well-being and safety of all students and those attending and participating in our events remains of the utmost importance," Varsity Cup CEO, Duitser Bosman said.

 

The Board will meet weekly to review and monitor the developments at the various universities before any matches resume.
