Peter de Villiers écarté de la vie politique sud-africaine suite à une plainte pour agression sexuelle

Peter de Villiers

Une plainte pour agression sexuelle avait été déposée en début d’année à l’encontre de Peter de Villiers, ancien capitaine des Springboks (2008 à 2011). Reconverti homme politique, il vient d’être formellement exclu du parti qu’il représentait.

L’affaire remonte à la fin du mois de janvier. Selon plusieurs médias, Peter de Villiers se serait rendu coupable d’agression sexuelle envers l’une des membres de son parti, alors qu’il la ramenait chez elle suite à une soirée.

La plaignante a dénoncé ces faits auprès de GOOD, le parti politique en question, et a déposé plainte auprès de la police qui a ouvert une enquête.

Le parti GOOD n’a pas attendu avant de prendre des mesures et a rapidement procédé à l’expulsion de son candidat après avoir mené une enquête en interne.

Cette décision a également entraîné la révocation de son poste au sein de l’assemblée législative du Cap-Occidental.

Un fléau en Afrique du Sud

« Le 31 janvier 2024, GOOD a reçu une plainte officielle pour inconduite sexuelle contre De Villiers. La nature des allégations a justifié sa suspension immédiate des activités du parti dans l’attente d’une enquête et d’une audience disciplinaire formelle », a déclaré un porte-parole du parti.

« GOOD est un parti dirigé par des femmes, et sa Constitution incarne un ensemble de valeurs que tous les membres, quels que soient leurs postes, sont tenus de respecter et de défendre.

« Les statuts de GOOD abordent de manière approfondie et sans équivoque les droits des femmes ainsi que la question de l’inconduite sexuelle. Le parti est fier de son engagement en faveur de l’égalité des droits des femmes et des filles, ainsi que de sa lutte contre le fléau de la violence sexiste en Afrique du Sud. »

L’an passé, un autre représentant de GOOD au Cap-Occidental avait été exclu du parti à la suite d’un scandale sexuel impliquant un conseiller du parti.

Conseiller municipal depuis 2021

Peter de Villiers a rejoint le parti GOOD en tant que candidat à la mairie de Drakenstein lors des élections locales sud-africaines de novembre 2021.

GOOD avait obtenu quatre sièges au conseil, mais De Villiers avait démissionné de son poste de conseiller pour passer du temps avec sa famille à la suite du décès de sa femme en avril 2022.

Il est toutefois resté membre du parti et a été rappelé pour revenir siéger au conseil en janvier 2023. Cinq mois plus tard, GOOD annonçait que De Villiers prenait le siège vacant du parti au Parlement du Cap-Occidental – un poste qu’il occupait il y a encore quelques jours.

Riche carrière d’entraîneur

Sous sa direction, les Springboks ont remporté le Tri-Nations en 2009 et ont battu les British and Irish Lions la même année.

Après son mandat comme sélectionneur de l’Afrique du Sud, De Villiers a poursuivi sa carrière d’entraîneur dans diverses fonctions.

Ireland survive wild match in Rome to bag bonus point win over Italy

🙏We are gathered here today to mourn Irish rugby. After many many years of being mediocre, they incredibly got themselves to a No 1 world ranking, which they miraculously held on to for around 14 months. However, despite reaching this incredible feat, they've always underperformed at World Cups, never ever making it past the quarter finals. This form, which could only be described as ‘choking’, also carried through to the 6 nations. Last year they were tipped to win a grand slam, but were beaten by England, so although they won last years 6 nations, they effectively choked again by not winning the grand slam. This year they were tipped by many, along with their mostly delusional media & some fans, to again grand slam the 6 nations, & in the process win a 3rd previously never done before consecutive 6 nations as well. However, they choked once again & not only did they not win the 6 nations or indeed the grand slam, they ended up 3rd on the 6 nations table. It is also a mystery how they got away with nefarious tactics, among other things, such as illegal & dangerous tactics at rucks for years, & also using multiple lazy runners etc, both of which incredibly hardly ever got pinged by referees? Irish rugby will most likely never again reach the highs it has over the last several years. It's over! 🙏

Dust to dust

Irish rugby is done

Everyone has you sussed”.

France deny England and clinch Six Nations title in Paris

I think we need to call out the red card non-decision here and acknowledge the damage that France, through Galthie, have done to confidence in the officaiting and citing process.

It started when Garry Ringrose had club matches included in his ban following similar precedents for (Atonio, Haouas, Danty) who were all carded/cited in match just before fallow week and club matches counted. Ntamacks citing was in week 1 and harder to demonstrate availability for club match with another International match between. Preceednt ~(O’Mahony 2021) was followed. Reading the written decision for Ntamack shows that Galthie understood this perfectly. Yet after the Ringrose ban included club matches, Galthie publicly goes berserk screaming ‘Injustice (against France”. Again, he knows the precedents for Ringrose are all French and indeed the only person preceding Ntamack to have club matches count in that situation was France’s Willemse.

The media swallowed this up wholesale and the story started circulating and being added to without a single journalist/pundit (except rush Mirror) actually reading the Ntamack decision. Sneaky Ireland had better briefs than honest naive France was one random addition by a pundit which becamse accpeted fact without checking etc and added to the circulation.

Angered by losing his star player Galthie again lashes out. He knows know he can de facto attack individual players, the media won’t intervene and as long as he doesnt directly attack an individual official he will stay out of trouble.

So he attacks players who then het threatened by some lunatic French supporters online. Ireland are ‘Butchers’ apparently. The passive head contact earning Nash a yellow now becomes a double head hit on Barrassi, requiring a double red.

France who have more dangerous tackle citings under Galthie than all other six nations combined. They get more favourable outcomes than all other teams. poor France are now the victims of great injustice. It is farce.

But it paid off.

Mauvaka struck the Scottish Scrum half with a diving head butt in Sundays match. Its a clear red. Scotlands back line attack looked superiors to France’s and Scotland were there or there abouts.

What I can only assume is the chilling affect on Galthie’s public attacks Carley send it to the bunker. A deliberate head butt is a clear red on more than one count. There is no doubt, bo grey area.

If thats a red card do France win the match? I would say that Scotland are likely winners, which would have meant England winning the title.

Spilled milk now, but World Rugby, the citing commisioners and officials cannot allow big Unions to publicly intimidate the officiating process and attack individual players from other teams.
