Athletics South Africa (ASA) president James Moloi has been re-elected at the National Federation’s Quadrennial General Meeting in Kempton Park, Johannesburg, on Saturday.
Moloi will serve another four years after receiving the majority of votes from ASA members. He has been at the helm of the association since coming into power in 2021.
“I’m thankful for the support shown by the council, which shows that we’ve done well for the last four years, and now I’m going to do my level best to uplift the sport even further and bring more events to South Africa,” said Moloi.
“Most of the people who have been elected are well experienced. We are going to be a united, solid board.”
John Mathane, the newly elected Athletics Gauteng North (AGN) president, was elected as the federation’s vice president, while long-distance runner Kesa Molotsane is the new chairperson of the Athletes Commission.
Jake Jacobs returned as chairperson of cross-country, while Enoch Skosana retained the post of chairperson for road running, and Jean Verster also held on to the position of chairperson of track and field.
The four additional members elected to the board are Esther Malema (retained), Johanita Bester, Mike Masepe, and Adelina Seipati Ranthimo (retained).
Barry Hendricks, the president of the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc), said the umbrella body was pleased with the smooth voting process and wished the new ASA Board well.
“Your role is to look at your vision for the next four years, what targets you’re going to set, what challenges you’re going to overcome, and what weaknesses you can get rid of, because that’s what will determine whether or not you’ll be successful at the end of 2028,” Hendricks said.
“We need a unified approach from all the provinces, so put your firm belief as a federation behind this board. It is their time to elevate the organization to another, more professional level.”
