Athletics South Africa (ASA) president James Moloi says he has unfinished business with the organization.
Moloi has served a four-year term, and on Saturday, he will have to fight off competition to retain the position.
The ASA elections will take place at the Southern Sun hotel in Kempton Park on Saturday and Moloi has told the Sowetan newspaper he’s ready for battle.

“What I’m going to tell the public is that the elections are going to be free and fair. They must not panic; nothing will happen on Saturday. From my side, I’m positive that I will make it because I have support from the provinces,” said Moloi.
“The only challenge that we have is to bring sponsorship next year when I’m elected because they told me straight away that, ‘we want to see the results’.
“I’m also going to appoint a permanent CEO because we have a challenge where we only have an acting CEO (Terrence Magogodela) and that is not healthy. When I’m back (as re-elected president), I’m going to advertise that position and everyone can apply, including the acting (CEO).”
Moloi will be up against former ASA president Aleck Skhosana, Shireen Noble and Harold Adams.
