World Athletics has reiterated that Athletics South Africa (ASA) is a member country in good standing.
ASA is in a state of flux with an acting president and acting CEO and a constitution that some say is not fit for purpose.
World Athletics has given ASA until the end of the month to supply a roadmap out of the situation.
It is now left to Jean Verster, the acting ASA president, to cobble together a way forward, and he has only two weeks to get it done.
“Our sport is about our athletes. Obviously there are a lot of other roleplayers within the sport on the ground level, the coaches, the officials, the event organisers, the clubs, etcetera, and the provinces, but it is primarily about our athletes, and part of this process that we are going through is to make it better for our athletes. That is why we are here, but we can’t do that if we are not governed by a constitution that addresses the governance issues and other issues that the previous or current constitution still allows.”
