The Democratic Alliance has voiced serious concerns over the recent developments at the Athletics South Africa, calling for calm, unity and transparency within the embattled sporting body.
As tensions rise ahead of the federation’s upcoming elections on Saturday, the DA has emphasised the need for a fair and credible process, urging all stakeholders to act responsibly and uphold the integrity of athletics governance in South Africa.
“The DA calls on all ASA members and stakeholders to rise above factionalism and recommit to unity, transparency and integrity. These elections must not be tainted by intimidation or interference,” said DA spokesperson on sport, arts and culture Joe McGluva said on Monday.
“They must be governed by fairness, the rule of law and a shared commitment to the long-term wellbeing of South African athletics.”
