Athletics SA say their Olympic squad has permission to train‚ but do they? David_Isaacson
The circular follows an outcry as Tuks athletes‚ including sprint star Akani Simbine‚ remained unable to access the club track while the University of Pretoria sports authorities awaited permission from the minister of sport, arts and culture Nathi Mthethwa.
Tuks has reopened most of its other sporting codes‚ apparently after receiving permission from the minister of Sport. “With reference to the latest update of the Level 3 regulations‚ the Olympic squad received permission to commence with their training‚” president Aleck Skhosana said in the circular.“As a point of clarity‚ ASA provinces can now negotiate with the respective stadiums‚ in municipal areas‚ where the Olympic athletes resides in the respective provinces‚ to obtain clearance for the stadium to open for the mentioned athletes‚ in accordance with the … regulations‚” Skhosana added.
ASA didn’t submit resumption plans for competition or training after the Sport Directions for Level 3 were gazetted on June 11. A sports ministry spokesperson said on Saturday‚ when asked if ASA had received a ministerial permission for athletes: “Athletics SA has not submitted their plans in response to the Directions issued on June 11 in order to resume training or matches.“However‚ ASA still has an opportunity to apply as per the most recently gazetted Directions that were issued on July 6.”
