Mr. Stofile has calmed nerves by assuring the SA public - who were threatening to mutiny - that transformation will not be a clean sweep at Bok level, but be implemented (sensibly) at school level.
"Quotas are out," Stofile told a parliamentary sports committee. "Let us put our resources into the development of talent."
A R200 million investment is apparently on the cards in order to bring about this transformation process. This represent quite a turnaround from his previous position (see the links below). Sigh with relif, for sanity has (somehow) prevailed.

Meanwhile the SA Award sponsored by ABSA for the Player of the Year is tonight in the ABSA convention centre. Who else could win it but Bryan Habana? Percy perhaps. Jake White, speaking at Standard Bank on Friday said Percy was the most professional of the Boks. Training hard, always practicing his kicks, and very focussed and quiet on the bus, listening to musics.
Remember Jake White personally went to fetch Monty who had ditched SA then for England (or had SA ditched him), and that investment and trust paid dividends.
White says despite the golden locks and shiny boots, Monty is actually a very humble, hard working guy.
