We are particularly happiest that we were able to offer several athletes in both South Africa and from our neighbouring countries a chance to either seek qualifications or improve and test their level of performance.” – President of ASA, Aleck Skhosana

“It was another wonderful competition day for our track and field athletes despite the downpour of rain at the tail of the programme,” said President of ASA, Aleck Skhosana.

“We are particularly happiest that we were able to offer several athletes in both South Africa and from our neighbouring countries a chance to either seek qualifications or improve and test their level of performance.

“This was a great return to athletics for ASA despite the challenges that the coronavirus has caused throughout the country and the world.

“We are encouraged to have witnessed that some of the athletes are at an advanced level of preparation. We are extremely happy with the success of this event, our first since a lockdown was declared by the national government a year ago,” he concluded.
