A lot has been said about athletics in South Africa in recent months.<\/p>\n
The sport has dominated headlines throughout the country for all the wrong reasons and officials in the sport have been having a go at each other for the past few months.<\/p>
Central Gauteng Athletics (CGA) recently had a special council meeting at their headquarters, at the Germiston Stadium.<\/p>\n
The meeting was attended by 75 per cent of the provincial affiliates, which are clubs.<\/p>
The council unanimously passed a vote of no confidence in the entire board of Athletics South Africa (ASA) and CGA called for a special general meeting in terms of clause 12.2 of the ASA constitution.<\/p>\n
The clause states that the board or council may, at any time, of its own accord, or shall, upon receipt, in writing, of a request from at least one third of the provincial members, call a general meeting, which shall be known as a special general meeting, to consider matters beyond the authority of the council.<\/p>\n
The CGA also want the ASA board to be removed from office at the meeting and for an interim board to be elected.<\/p>\n
While all this is happening, athletes around the country seem to be struggling.<\/p>\n
Sascoc recently suspended ASA and anybody tied with the organisation.<\/p>\n
This means that athletes do not receive funding from Sascoc.<\/p>\n
