Jason Jamaine Jaftha (born 4 May 1985) is a South African Rugby Union referee that refereed in the Super Rugby and Currie Cup competitions. He hails from the Southern Cape (SWD union) where he attended Zwartberg High School.[1]

He served on the Elite Panel and also officiated Super Rugby matches, but suffered a serious knee injury in 2014,[2] which ruled him out for the entire year.[3] He returned to limited action in 2015, taking charge of first class matches in the 2015 Vodacom Cup,[4] but didn't referee in the Super Rugby or Currie Cup competitions, although he was utilised as an assistant on occasion, including the 2015 Currie Cup Premier Division final.[5] At the end of 2015, his injury record also saw him demoted from the South African Rugby Referees' Association's Elite Panel to their National Panel,[6] and he was removed from the refereeing panel altogether for 2017.[7]
