The players whose contracts have not been renewed are: Enrico Acker, Karlo Aspeling, Eben Barnard, Albe de Swardt, Samora Fihlani, Andile Jho, Paul Schoeman, Kuhle Sonkosi, Claude Tshidibi, George Whitehead. Of those players, Schoeman had already signed for the Free State Cheetahs.

Confirmation of new signings will be made in due course.
