Kodwa welcomes ruling on appointment of Boxing SA Accounting
Sport, Arts, and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa has welcomed the High Court in Pretoria's ruling on the National Professional Boxing Promoters’ Association matter.
The court dismissed with costs the association’s application to declare the appointment of the Boxing SA Accounting Authority as irregular and invalid.
The minister’s spokesperson, Litha Mpondwana, says it's important to restore stability and ethical governance at Boxing SA.
“The judgment marks a salutary corrective measure on the path to restoring stability and ethical governance at Boxing SA. For too long, Boxing SA has been bleeding as an institution, with athletes losing match time and promoters and trainers losing their market share.
“This court decision is an opportunity for all stakeholders in South African boxing to link and focus on the roadmap to reset and revitalise the sport in the country. I have repeatedly said that let’s box in the ring and not in the courts.”
