JOHANNESBURG – James Moloi was re-elected as president of Athletics South Africa.
Moloi defeated former president Aleck Skhosana in a two-way contest held at the OR Tambo Garden Court hotel in Isando, Johannesburg, on Saturday.
"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," Moloi said.
John Mathane from Gauteng North takes over as vice-president from Shireen Noble, and Kesa Molotsane from Athletics Free State (AFS) replaces Hendrick Mokganyetsi as the athletes’ representative.
Moloi's re-election comes with most of the board members he's worked with.
"Most of the people who have been elected are well-experienced. We are going to be a united, solid board,” said Moloi.
Jakes 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).
