Resigned: Chairman Ngconde Balfour. Photo: Sunday World
Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula has to sort out the embattled Boxing South Africa.
He can either augment the three members of the federation or give them a special dispensation to continue until their term ends next year.
The South African Boxing Act of 2001 stipulates clearly that the board can have no less than four and no more than seven members.
Currently the board has Peter Ngatane, Ntambi Ravele, Mandla Nhlanganiso and Nonsansa Lebaka. But Lebaka has not returned since she was reported to be ill and that was some time ago.
Chairman Ngconde Balfour resigned on Thursday. The first member to resign was Thabani Khumalo. He was followed by Dumile Mateza.
Khumalo, from KwaZulu-Natal, said he was unable to continue because of business interests. Mateza did not give a reason.
Effectively the board has three members – so legally there is no board. – Sunday World
