Update Athletics South Africa Back On Cipc List After Embarrassing Parliament Display

Athletics South Africa ASA quickly rectified an error that could have cost South African athletes dearly, after the organisation was delisted from the Companies and Intellectual Properties Commission CIPC earlier this year.

This was brought to light during a Parliamentary session before the portfolio committee on sports, arts and culture. Liam Jacobs, a DA member on the committee, probed ASA representatives on Tuesday, which included acting CEO Terrence Magogodela, president James Moloi and Mpoase Shembeni, the administration's financial accountant, regarding the oversight

In the video with Jacobs interacting with Magogodela the committee stated that ASA had been deregistered from the CIPC, thus putting the lives of South African athletes, and their participation locally and internationally, in jeopardy.

The CIPC serves as the database for all South African companies.

On Wednesday, however, the department of sports' spokesperson, Charles Cilliers, revealed that the matter had been swiftly attended to.
